The NASCAR national series will be back on the saddle at Martinsville Speedway this coming weekend after taking an Easter weekend off following the Bristol dirt race. Needless to say, the last weekend of March saw much commotion and chaos with rain and dirt flying all over the place. As a result, the races were postponed to days with sunshine on the forecast.
Joey Logano's composure behind the No. 22 wheels of his Team Penske's Ford Mustang saw him take the checkered flag, making him the first NASCAR Cup Series winner on a dirt track in 50 years. Meanwhile, Martin Truex Jr. won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series counterpart. He also drove his No. 19 to lead a whopping 10,000 laps in NASCAR Cup Series.
While the Truck Series returns only the week after this, the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series races will see the field fight it out at Martinsville Speedway over the weekend.
