Dennis Setzer came from the back in 33rd position all the way to first winning the Advance Auto Parts 250 at Martinsville Speedway. Setzer, driver of the No. 46 Axiom Chevrolet, initially qualified fifth but was moved to 33rd after an illegal left-front spring was found after qualifying on Friday. Setzer survived multiple cautions for his first win this year and seventh of his Craftsman Truck Series career. Mike Bliss was second with Rick Crawford, Bobby Dotter, Terry Cook, Jason Leffler, Travis Kvapil, David Starr, rookie Brendan Gaughan and Jon Wood rounding out the top 10. Darrell Waltrip finished 34th after mechanical problems sent him to the garage early. Andy Petree wrecked and finished 32nd while Kevin Harvick was ordered to the garage by NASCAR after it was thought he was going to retaliate toward Coy Gibbs for earlier incidents. Harvick ended up with a 29th place finish. Coming into the race, Ted Musgrave and Robert Pressley shared the point lead. Musgrave was involved in a wreck and registered a 24th-place finish. Pressley was 14th, two laps down. Crawford's third moved him from eighth to fourth in the points battle.
