HOMETOWN TRACK: Bill Davis Racing (BDR) is based an hour south of Martinsville Speedway in High Point, N.C. BDR fields two Toyotas in the NEXTEL Cup Series, the No. 22 Caterpillar Camry, with driver Dave Blaney and the No. 36 360 OTC Camry, with driver Jeremy Mayfield. BDR also fields three Toyota Tundras in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series—the No. 5 Tundra of Mike Skinner, the No. 23 360 OTC Tundra driven by Johnny Benson and the No. 36 360 OTC Tundra of Tyler Walker.

MARTINSVILLE MAN: One person who has more experience than most drivers at Martinsville won’t be in the starting line-up, but will be in the pits for Bill Davis Racing. Jeff Hensley, who hung up his driver’s suit and is in his third season as crew chief for Mike Skinner’s No. 5 Tundra, knows Martinsville as well as anyone. Growing up in Ridgeway, Va., just six miles from Martinsville Speedway, Hensley spent considerable time at the track and is very familiar with the circuit. He competed in 10 Busch Series races at Martinsville between 1982 and 1985, recording five top-10 finishes.
