Welcome to the 2nd COT race of the year. This weeks race is in Martinsville, VA.

Race time is scheduled for 2 PM on FOX. We'll open up the "Live Chat" at 1 PM.

See ya there.

Looks like the live chat is open and ready to go.

Last week, I said I was real impressed with the Gibbs cars until they went out. Thought they did a great job with the COT. So, I put my money where my mouth is, starting both Stewart and Hamlin. Sure enough, Hamlin earns the pole. Nice!

I wouldn't be surprised if NASCAR starts the race early with a chance of rain.

[Phils20]

That would be the wise thing to do. Let's hope they do it! They can always squeeze commercials in at the end!

[Lefty Noob]

Wow, 4 laps in and a caution... Casey Mears gets a flat. That was fast.

[Lefty Noob]

Once again, Gordon having problems early on.

What? He's looking good to me. He just passed McMurray for 2nd, and catching Hamlin.

[Lefty Noob]

Hamlin still leading 36 laps in, Gordon 2nd, McMurray 3rd.

Eh, just repeating what the talking heads said.

The 43 car just kissed the wall right good.

[Phils20]

rrrrrrrrr, wonder what happened to the 43???

[Lefty Noob]

Nice move by Hamlin getting around Sadler and back into the lead.

Hey, a new face -- welcome to the forum. 200nsr! Gordon fan I'm guessing?

[Lefty Noob]

Heh heh... Hamlin and Stewart both in the top 5, and all 4 of my drivers are in the top 20.

[Lefty Noob]

Looks like the 25 blew a tire. Again.
