Pole speed for this race last year was 20.115 s, set by #23 Bubba Wallace

Interesting that @mikejoy500 keeps talking about 'nuclear red'. That's one of the stains biologists use so that they can see cell nuclei. And now that I think about it, it IS about the same color as the hotdog. dbiosys.com/product/nuclea…

Be wary of relying just on the fastest lap ordering most leaderboards show. There is only 0.111 seconds between the fastest practice lap and the 20th place fastest lap.

Ambient temperature at @MartinsvilleSwy is up four degrees between practice group 1 and practice group 2 starts: 48F vs. 52 F

#41 Custer and #33 Hill set their fastest laps late: laps 13 and 14 respectively. Most everyone else was laps 4-7

Fewest laps in group 1: #34 (set second-fastest lap) ran 43 laps; #48, #8, #4 — 46 laps #42, #41 — 51 laps

#88 Zilisch ran the most laps in the first practice group: 70. Followed by #5 Larson with 68 laps, #33 Hill with 63 and #35 Herbst with 61 laps

Another opportunity to appreciate the extreme safety measures built into the Dallara DW12.

@Keselowski says the pirmary difference btwn spring and fall @Martinsville is the length. In Fall, stages are longer. If you burn off tires early in a GF run, you will likely go a lap down. In spring, the stage would end before you lose that lap.

@AlanCavanna Surprising that could happen.

Scary crash right now for McLaughlin in IndyCar practice. He appears to be fine… But his car backed right through the foam wall and fence, into some trees. Crazy.

@keselowski calling out specific media members for the number of Martinsville hot dogs they are consuming as his media avail overlaps with lunch. #nascar

William Byron says that he thinks the wake behind the cars last week at Darlington was actually worse with the short-track package. #NASCAR

Wondering what additional horsepower will do at Martinsville? Let's look at it through the perspective of what changed — and what didn't — at Darlington. buildingspeed.org/2026/03/26/hig…

Short tracks hit different. Respect the pressures, stay out of the walls (and each other).

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia reached a milestone of being continuously guarded by service members for 100 years on March 25. The tomb was established in the wake of World War I, when an unknown soldier who died in the war was interred on Nov. 11, 1921, but did not have an assigned military guard until March 25, 1926. It was a daytime guard until July 1, 1937, when it became guarded 24 hours a day, seven days a week in all weather conditions. See more photos: stripes.com/branches/army/…
