And from PenskeRacing.com here is Ryan Newman's quote on Martinsville Speedway--

We were so close to getting that win at Charlotte. It wouldve been really nice to get a win at Lowes, but well just have to wait another week.

Ive never won at Martinsville, but Ive had some good runs there. We had a little bit of a problem during qualifying there earlier this year, but we still pulled out a 14th-place finish. Weve got a good COT program at Penske, so I think we have a good shot at getting another good finish there this weekend.
