HAMLIN WINS IN MARTINSVILLE AS JOHNSON INCREASES CHASE LEAD

Posted 10/25/09 at 2:36 PM PDT by | Email This |

Denny Hamlin won the TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville on Sunday, which is great and all, but the real story is that Jimmie Johnson extended his Chase lead with a second-place finish that stretched his points lead from 90 to 118 over Mark Martin, who finished eighth. The race featured all of the bumping and banging and Scott Speed single-car accidents you come to expect at Martinsville. With four races to go, Johnson looks unbeatable. In other news, at no point did Juan Pablo Montoya go out for a taco.

Stremme and Truex were going at it for two laps early in the race. Truex blocked Stremme on the backstretch two laps in a row, then Stremme spun Truex out. Truex banged him back later in the race after they finally were together on the track again.
