The Driver's Thoughts on Martinsville Speedway "Martinsville is a tough race track. It is flat and slow so I'll be using a ton of brakes. The car has to turn good in the center and has to get major traction off the corners. If the handles well in those areas we'll have a decent finish.
"... Martinsville was one of my worst tracks. It only takes a few laps for the leaders to start lapping cars. You never know who is on the lead lap and who is not. Just imagine a constant train of cars just circling the track. Its too small for 43 cars."
-- Matt Kenseth, Driver (April 2002)
The Crew Chief's Thoughts on Martinsville Speedway "We need to be able to keep the fenders on it. We'll rely on Matt to drive a smart race, and the crew to have good pit stops. We cannot afford to lose any time in the pits because its so easy to go down a lap in Martinsville."
-- Robbie Riser, Crew Chief (April 2002)
The Spotter's Thoughts on Martinsville Speedway "Since there is a lot of bumping and rubbing, a spotter has to be prepared for that wrecks can develop quickly. While the speeds at Martinsville are slower than Bristol, you need to maintain the same half-mile mindset. It is also going to be important for me to remind Matt that this is a 'rhythm' track -- even the veterans have a tendency to over-drive it."
-- Mike Calinoff, Spotter (April 2002)
