Wild is just one word to describe the start to the 2013 Sprint Cup Series season. After five races last season, we sure didn’t have any rivalries and we were just complaining about the lack of action in the races.

2013 has not been a good year so far for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). Tony Stewart has one top 10 finish through five races, Danica Patrick looks like she's somehow regressed and its been feast or famine for Ryan Newman who has either scored a top 10 or a DNF.

Since sustaining an injury to his back last weekend at Auto Club Speedway, Denny Hamlin said that he is feeling 80% percent better since that Sunday.

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.

For the first time this season, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series make a visit to Martinsville Speedway for the Sprint Cup Series’ sixth race of the year and the Camping World Truck Series’ second race of the year.

When the season started, we wondered about Mark Martin's chances of making the Chase. Even in running a partial season, the 54-year old still had the chops to possibly win a couple of races before the deadline and claim a wildcard spot. If we contemplated Martin making it in, the odds of Denny Hamlin slipping through must be that much greater.

While Martinsville may be one of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s best tracks now, it didn't start out that way. In his first trip to Martinsville as a rookie, he finished 26th and 36th on the paper clip short track.

Just six weeks ago, the start of a new season was just days away. We had a bunch of questions regarding the upcoming season then and after five races, we have partial answers to some of the questions. Some of these answers weren’t what we thought they would be, but the whole season so far hasn’t been what we were predicting it to be like.

Contrary to reports on Thursday, Mark Martin will only be driving the No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry next weekend at Martinsville, before returning to his normal ride, the No. 55 Aaron's Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing, for Texas.

After experiencing success at the Limited Late Model level, Kevin Cornelius is making the move up to the OSCAAR Super Late Model division.
