Ryan Newman finished off a great day by winning the 63rd Annual Goody’s Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville. His Outback Steakhouse Chevrolet had a good battle on the final laps with the #22 AJ Allmendinger Shell Pennzoil Dodge. Ryan overcame a speeding penalty on pit road earlier in the race and was in the right spot at the right time when there was a late race wreck. This is the third win for Stewart Haas racing this year.
With only a hand full of laps left and Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson battling for the lead there was a late race caution because of David Reutimann stalling on the racetrack. Jeff and Jimmie both lead the most laps as Jeff led for 328 and Jimmie led for 112 laps.
On a day that totally dominated by Hendrick owned cars the best placed Hendricks car was Dale Earnhardt Jr. who finished third and led for a few laps.
Dale Jr after the race said “Yeah, I’m real happy with our finish. We worked really hard all day, all weekend really we worked hard to obviously get the best finish we could. This is our first race with AMP on the hood, and we are proud to have a good finish for those guys, had a lot of people here in weekend.”
