Defending Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski knows that things could be worse. He really can’t complain about how his 2013 campaign has started:...
Following his second place finish two weeks ago at St. Petersburg, Helio Castroneves would top the charts with a lap of one minute and eight seconds, 120.781 mph.
At the end of Camping World Truck Series qualifying, it'd be Jeb Burton scoring his first career pole in his seventh career truck start. The 20-year-old lapped the track in 19.589 seconds, 96.666 mph.
It is not strange to see Jimmie Johnson at the front of the field at Martinsville Speedway so it should be no surprise that the driver of the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet won the pole, breaking the track record. Johnson clocked in a lap of 19.244 seconds, 98.400 mph, for the 30th pole of his career, first of 2013.

Martinsville is one of NASCAR's oldest venues and has been around since the beginning of stock car racing. It was one of the eight original tracks on the 1949 Strickly Stock Schedule which is now known as the Sprint Cup series. At 0.526 miles in length, it is the shortest track on the circuit and arguably the toughest to pass at.
Minutes later, they are walking onto a luxury car lot, handing over a cashier's check, and driving away in a brand-new vehicle paid entirely by house money.
