History was made over the weekend at — what many believe to be NASCAR’s most historic track — Martinsville Speedway. Brad Keselowski conquered the paperclip track to secure his second victory of the season and a well-deserved one for Team Penske on their 1,000th NASCAR start. Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s season is off to a rough start, Kyle Larson retains the Cup points lead, and payback may be on the cards for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. after bumping Kyle Busch.
