Martinsville "News" and Notes



--Mark Martin is subbing in for the ailing Denny Hamlin this week at Martinsville.  I'm guessing that JGR Nationwide driver Brian Texas will be in the 11 next week.

--I wanted to insult Joey Logano, but I was told by him to call 811 before I dig.

--Ricky Stenhouse Jr. runs the Fifth Third Bank paint scheme this week for the first time.  Their slogan is "The Curious Bank", as in, "Its curious that he's banking a solid start to his first rookie season, and he's best-known for who he's dating".

--Here's a conundrum for ya: Clint Bowyer does the most commercials, but seems to run the most races with "sponsors" instead of sponsors.

--Frank Beamer is the honorary pace car driver on Sunday, and in the time it takes him to drive around the half-mile track a dozen times, the ACC's membership will change three times.

--Jeffrey Earnhardt will be in one of the JR Motorsports Nationwide cars at Richmond, in what will become the Most Overblown Story so far this season.
