I'm not a Rusty fan but it was good to him win. It's been too long for probably the best short track driver in NASCAR. Hopefully he finishes the season good.

Yeah, it's nice to see Rusty finally win....kinda

I'm no Gordon fan but I think they should have let them fix his car.

I'm glad Rusty could finally put one in the win column. I don't think he's been the same since Dale died. As for Gordon, I'm not a fan of his but, I think they should have let him fix his car. I mean come on, the track is falling apart, they shouldn't even be racing there.

P.S. Rusty should have won Bristol.

Talk about opening pandora's box!!! If they had let him fix it, it would have led to an argument everytime someone's car was damaged before a red flag. Of course I'm not a Gordon fan so I am happy!

I like Rusty, but since he switched from Ford to Dodge I don't root for him any more. It was good to see him win though, instead of one of those Chevy guys.

Three years is a long time to go without a win. I like Rusty but racing is a young man's game. He should leave the racing to Jr., Newman, Busch, Johnson, etc.

Rusty is the man!

I was there at MARTINSVILLE to see RUSTY bring it home. It was great to see, plus the halftime wasn't too bad. Martinsville is one of the last short track beat and bangin' races NASCAR has. They should definitely have two races! By the way took my new Super Duty down there camping this weekend. It was quite nice and got lots of comments about how nice it was.

i used to like Rusty and Ryan but when Roger switched over to dodge i don't root for them anymore. I really don't have a favorite driver but I hate Robby Gordon, Harvick, and Stewart.
