Car 41 Kurt Busch Haas Automation Chevrolet, wins the STP 500 at Martinsville. He’s the 6th driver to win in the 6th 2014 Nascar Sprint Cup Race. Even though 2nd place Car 48 Jimmie Johnson Lowe’s Chevrolet is the master of Martinsville & led for 296 laps out of 500 as he was passed on lap 490 by Kurt Busch which cost him the win.
3rd place Car 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. Diet Mountain Dew Chevrolet who is still the points leader followed by Car 22 Joey Logano Shell Pennzoil Ford in 4th place, 5th place Car 9 Marcos Ambrose DeWalt Ford followed by Car 20 Matt Kenseth Dollar General Toyota 6th place, 7th place Car 4 Kevin Harvick Budweiser Chevrolet followed by Car 43 Aric Almirola STP Ford in 8th place, 9th place Car 15 Clint Bowyer 5-hour Energy Toyota ending out the top 10 Car 27 Paul Menard Pittsburgh Paints / Menards Chevrolet in 10th place.
The race had lots of action with 33 lead changes, 14 Cautions for 92 laps & lots of rubbing. Needless to say there is no love lost between Car 41 Kurt Busch & Car 2 Brad Keselowski. One of the factors was, rain washed out sessions on Saturday so teams had to guess as track conditions changed, teams and had to keep up or lost positions with tires being a key.
