NOTES:

Denny Hamlin will attempt to become the first back-to-back winner of this race since Rusty Wallace ran off four straight from 1993-96, as he defends his title this week at Martinsville Speedway. Not only did Hamlin win this race in 2010, he has captured the last three races at Martinsville and four of the past six.

Last season, Virginia-native Hamlin was scheduled to have surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Monday. Instead, Hamlin drove into victory lane with a painful knee after taking the rain-delayed Goody's Fast Pain Relief 500 in front of his home crowd at Martinsville Speedway.

Hamlin led a race-high 172 laps, but gave up the top position to Jeff Gordon when he opted to pit for new tires during a caution with less than 10 laps remaining. The pit strategy paid off at the end.

An accident involving Kyle Busch and Paul Menard set up a green-white- checkered finish. After the final restart, second-place runner-up Matt Kenseth dove underneath Gordon to take the lead, but Gordon shoved Kenseth up the track and into the wall. Hamlin moved past Ryan Newman and then darted ahead of Gordon and Kenseth to take the lead for good with one and a half laps remaining. Hamlin has won at Martinsville three times, including a victory in 2008. The 2010 win was one of eight titles last season. Winless in five starts this year, Hamlin owns 16 career Sprint Cup titles.

With 16 laps remaining in 2009, Jimmie Johnson overtook Hamlin and held on for his 41st career Sprint Cup title, defeating Hamlin by 0.774 of a second. Johnson grabbed the lead for the first time on lap 430, when he beat Hamlin off of pit road during a caution for an incident involving Jeremy Mayfield. He held the top spot until a restart on lap 456, when Hamlin passed him after the green flag waved. Hamlin held off Johnson for two more restarts, but the four- time Sprint Cup Series champion drove underneath Hamlin and moved him up the track while making the winning pass. Johnson's win total now stands at 53.

Johnson has dominated at Martinsville Speedway, winning five of the last nine races and has posted a top-10 finish in 17 straight at the track. Overall, Johnson has six wins, a pair of runner-up finishes, two thirds and two fourth- place finishes at the Virginia oval. His average finish in 16 trips is 5.333.

Back in 2008, Hamlin reclaimed the lead on lap 427 of the 500-lap race and took the checkered flag in front of Jeff Gordon for his then fourth career Sprint Cup title. Starting on the front row next to pole-sitter Gordon, Hamlin led on three separate occasions for 82 laps, while Gordon led for 90 laps. Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr dominated most of the race, each leading five times, Johnson for 135 laps and Earnhardt Jr for 146 laps. The two drivers finished fourth and sixth respectively. Hamlin's win over Gordon was by .398 of a second.

In 2006, Tony Stewart outraced Gordon to the finish line, clipping "Speed Racer" by just over a second for his 25th career Sprint Cup title. Gordon, who is a seven-time winner on this track, had dominated at Martinsville this past decade, posting four wins, three seconds and two thirds since 2003. Stewart reclaimed the lead on lap 474 of the 500-lap event to clip Gordon by 1.083 seconds. Stewart led the race on five separate occasions for a race-high 288 laps, while pole sitter Jimmie Johnson, who placed third, led four times for 195 laps.

Darrell Waltrip, an 11-time winner at Martinsville, is the all-time pole- winner with eight poles at the Virginia track. Richard Petty had registered 15 of his 200 career wins at this track. In fact, nine of those wins were at this race. Lee Petty holds the record for the driver that started the farthest back and won this race, when he captured the 1959 Virginia 500 from the 24th position.

The pole sitter has won at Martinsville 19 times in 124 races, the most recent in this race in 2003 when Jeff Gordon took the checkered flag. Hamlin won the fall race last year from the pole. The top-10 positions have accounted for 89 wins. Opened in September 1947 by H. Clay Earles, Martinsville Speedway, originally a dirt track, is one of the oldest continuously-operating racing facilities in the United States. The first NASCAR Sprint Cup race was held on Sept. 25, 1949.

The next Sprint Cup Series race is the April 9th running of the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, as Hamlin defends his title.
