Sprint Cup 2011, Race 33

Rain cancelled practicing in Martinsville for the 7^th stop on the 2011 Sprint Cup Case. Being a half mile flat track poses unique challenges requiring far more specialized driving than succeeding on the larger tracks. Thus Martinsville like Talladega a week ago becomes something of an elimination race where those who fare poorly might loose their chance at the championship.

Here’s the line up.

1-      Carl Edwards #99, Ford

2-      Matt Kenseth #17, Ford, -14

3-      Brad Keselowski #2, Dodge, -18

4-      Tony Stewart #14, Chevrolet, -19

5-      Kevin Harvick #29, Chevrolet, -26

6-      Kyle Busch #18, Toyota, -40

7-      Jimmie Johnson, #48, Chevrolet, -50
