Setzer wins wild truck race
Dennis Setzer held on to win in a green-white-checker finish, putting Bobby Hamilton racing back in Victory Lane.
Lots of beating and banging went on, which is typical of Martinsville, but even more-so with the trucks, not sure if there were any trucks out there that didn't have any marks on them.
Kyle Busch was involved in a couple of incidents, one with Skinner and one with Benson in the final laps of the race, other than that the only other big wreck was Sprague and a few others, which brought out the red flag to clean the track.
Brendan Gaughan lost his chance for the win when he was leading, when his crew chief decided to call him to pit road under caution. Gaughan wanted to stay out and chance it, thinking there would be enough caution laps in the race to make it on fuel, but the crew chief made the ultimate decision and called him in and he ended up eleventh.
Chrissy Wallace, Mike Wallace's daughter, made her NASCAR debut, coincidentally at the same track Dad made his debut. She didn't do too bad either, she came in seventeenth on the lead lap with Dad helping with the spotting and Tony Stewart coaching her. I think I read she may be in the same truck again sometime for Germain Racing, so it'll be interesting to see if she can keep it up and possibly be the first female to actually be able to do something in NASCAR.
Your thoughts?

Setzer had a strong race and it didn't look like anyone had anything to challenge. As usual Kyle Busch ran out of talent and took out two trucks in two different incidents and during the post race interview he acted like it was no big deal.
