Last year at Martinsville the Hendrick cars continued their season dominance, as Jimmie Johnson held off Jeff Gordon in a tightly-fought battle for much of the race's final 50 laps. This year, neither Johnson nor Gordon are even in the top 12 in the standings. Can they turn their luck around at a track on which they've enjoyed success in the past or will another driver cruise to victory lane? Take a look at the loop data stats from Martinsville (compiled from the six races from 2005-2007 at Martinsville Speedway).
