Jimmie Johnson likes Martinsville.

(Johnson) “Feel like the fastest car won the race.  So it was a very standard Martinsville race, although I thought some guys might peel off and take tires, so… Just a hard race, you know.  This racetrack is tough to get around, but we have a great notebook.”

A clean restart with eight laps to go pushing Johnson to his eighth career Martinsville win in the STP Gas Booster 500 on FOX Sports.  Clint Bowyer finishing second, followed by Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne.

Danica Patrick’s first go on Martinsville’s short-track ending with a confidence-building 12th-place finish.
