But of course I want to be the guy that has those big days for our team. did more with them in one race than IвЂ™ve been able to do in ten. ThatвЂ™s awesome.Д«ut.IвЂ™d be lying if I said I wasnвЂ™t jealous. Even though in typical Martins Motorsports fashion they had to battle through some crazy circumstances, they proved just how competitive our team can be when all things are equal at a place like Eldora. We all deserve nights like Wednesday night. It was a gutsy race from him and our crew.

He ran 75% of the race with the exhaust knocked off & fumes getting into the cockpit. He took a truck that was 29th in final practice, qualified it fourth overall, and ran the 5th fastest time of anyone during the race. He deserved every bit of praise he got for his performance Wednesday. HeвЂ™s humble, professional, & best of all, a terrific racer. I was cheering harder than anyone! I havenвЂ™t met J.R., but from everything my father and our Crew Chief Kevin Eagle have told me about him, heвЂ™s a great guy. We finished the race as the last truck on the lead lap in 15th place.ДЄ lot of people tweeted, texted, and prodded me thinking IвЂ™d be upset seeing someone else have that much success in my truck.

Caution after caution, we couldnвЂ™t get the break we needed to get a lap back until later in the race, when we were positioned as the only truck two laps down, then the only truck one lap down. We were running third in the main when the exhaust got knocked off the truck, putting us two laps down. Martins Motorsports had the most successful day in company history Wednesday night at Eldora Speedway.
