RCR NCS Race Recap: Martinsville Speedway

Mechanical Issues at Martinsville Speedway Challenge Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Off Road Chevrolet Team

Finish: 34th
Start: 28th
Points: 31st

“Long day for the Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Off-Road Chevrolet team at Martinsville Speedway. We had a problem with a left front tire locking up and I think the power steering was going out pretty much the whole race. When it went out with about 200 laps to go, I had to fight hard to gain positions. I can at least say I finished the race with no power steering, I’m going to be a little sore tomorrow, but we’ll keep fighting. It’s not the finish we wanted today, but we will go to Texas Motor Speedway next week to try and regain some momentum.” -Austin Dillon

Kyle Busch Claims 16th-Place Finish in Lucas Oil Chevrolet at Martinsville Speedway

Finish: 16th
Start: 11th
Points: 15th

“We made an improvement this weekend from how we ran last year at Martinsville Speedway. The first run of the race the Lucas Oil Chevrolet got looser as went. We pitted for tires and adjustments and the next run we were a little free everywhere but tight at the three-quarter mark of Turns 3 and 4. At the end of Stage 2 we pitted again but the adjustments didn’t seem to work, and we lost track positions. Crew Chief Randall Burnett and the guys kept working and never gave up. We made the car better by the end of the race and we were able to get a decent finish, but we still have work to do to get to where we want to be.” -Kyle Busch
