Racing at the high-banked Bristol Motor Speedway is often a matter of survival. Bill Lester and the No. 22 SunTrust Toyota Tundra team survived the famous half mile and finished 16th in Wednesday night’s event. The team spent Wednesday’s practice sessions struggling to find the correct balance for the truck. Lester reported that the truck’s handling was loose in the corners during the first practice session, so the team made a number of chassis changes in hopes of tightening the handling.

While Johnny Benson won the coveted guitar trophy for capturing the Toyota Tundra 200 a few weeks ago at Nashville Superspeedway, Todd Bodine and Ted Musgrave were the big winners on Wednesday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. Legendary Rock & Roll guitarist Eric Clapton was a guest of truck owners - Bob, Steve and Rick Germain. Clapton, who will continue his World Tour in Japan and then Australia in November, was all smiles at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday evening. A little high octane action at Bristol would prove to be the perfect primer for Clapton before he goes back on the road to promote his latest album "Back Home" - released last year in August. "Back Home" is the artists first offering of all new original material in nearly five years - Steve Winwood and John Mayer are among the guest artists. A short Tour in the US, with two dates in Canada, runs September 16th through October 23rd.(Ronda Greer Photo)

"Cowboy and the guys gave me a nice piece to race with. It got just a little tight on us after we stopped and it made it hard to get underneath people to pass. Our pit strategy just didn't go our way tonight and we didn't get the finish we were looking for. Congratulations to Mark Martin and his group, if we can't win it's good to see another ford in victory lane."

When nobody so much as laid a glove on O'Reilly 200 winner Mark Martin, railbirds already were speculating how the NASCAR veteran might alter the landscape if he follows through on his oft-repeated promise to compete fulltime in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2007. Martin's victory was the sixth by a Ford in 2006 and ended Toyota's five-race streak of wins in the state of Tennessee. (Ronda Greer Photo)

Mark Martin's fourth NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory of the 2006 season looked simple enough, and it was, thanks to strategy called by Scotts Ford crew chief Mike Beam. Just 30 laps into Wednesday night's O'Reilly 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Beam called Budweiser Pole winner and race leader Martin to pit road for a quick fill-up of Sunoco fuel and tires and the driver was good to go for the rest of the 200 laps. With a hard tire compound, track position and nine caution flags running interference, Martin was able to hold off championship leader Todd Bodine's Lumber Liquidators Ford to claim a .149-second victory and a payoff of $47,350 before a Bristol series record crowd estimated at 64,000. "We just had one of those magical set-ups," said the 47-year-old Martin, who became the first driver in Bristol Motor Speedway history to win in all three of NASCAR's three national touring series.

Mark Martin took an easy victory in the O'Reilly 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race Wednesday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Martin took off from the Bud Pole, lead until he pitted at lap 30, reassumed the lead when the other lead lap trucks pitted at lap 60, and led the rest of the way for his third win of the 2006 season. With his win, Martin also broke a five race win streak in the state of Tennessee for Toyota. Martin did face some heat late in the going as Todd Bodine put on some pressure on a final two-lap dash to the flag, but Martin was able to keep him at bay to score the victory. Martin pointed all the credit for the victory to the team who put together his potent Roush Racing ride. "It's all these guys right here," Martin said. "This Scotts F-150 was just spectacular."

"We didn't have anything for Mark (Martin) tonight. He was just playing with us tonight. Our truck went away at the end of the race. I had Teddy (Musgrave) behind me and he was taking it easy on me tonight. It was a good night as far as the points race. I think we picked up some points on Johnny. So, from that standpoint, it was a pretty good night. To come out of Bristol second, that's what we had to do for the points."

Mike Skinner (No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota) has seen both extremes at Bristol Motor Speedway. In 1995, the inaugural season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Skinner won the Budweiser Pole, missed the drivers' meeting and, trying to battle his way back through the pack, wound up 20th. Last year, Skinner found redemption at the .533-mile track breaking a series non-winning streak that began in 1996. The win also was the first for Bill Davis Racing, a charter Toyota team beginning in 2004. Obviously, Skinner is happy to be back in Thunder Valley for Wednesday night's O'Reilly 200. "Winning the race last year was one of my favorite memories of Bristol," said Skinner. "Being able to make races there early in my career in the NASCAR Busch Series as well as the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series is also a fond memory. (High Sierra Photo)

Bobby Hamilton Jr. on Bristol:
“I’ve got really mixed feelings about Bristol. What’s tough about racing there is the fact that to pass, it usually involves hitting someone. I’m not sure if a clean pass even exists at Bristol. The track can tear up a lot of equipment. It’s not unusual for a crash to collect more than just one vehicle."

Last year it looked as though Chad Chaffin would get his first win at Bristol. He battled Mike Skinner off and on all night for the lead when a late race pit strategy got the best of the team.

It looked as though the plan was working until a tire blew and so did Chad's chances of winning at Bristol. (Ronda Greer Photo)
