Grumpy chewed on this thing for a couple of days. I read all the pundits. I listened to Brian Vickers and others. I listened to all the comments given to the media by Dale Earnhardt jr.

MARTINSVILLE has joined a long list of tracks controlled by INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORP. to reduce ticket prices for the ‘09 season.
