April Martinsville

A sunny day in Martinsville today
Patiently waiting the race to get underway.
The green flag flew and off they ran hard
The second place car mounted a charge.
Hard racing and lots of banging
Fenders crunched and engines clanging.
The heat oppressive inside the cars
Overheating for a lot of the stars.
The attrition rate was growing fast
Had us wondering who would last.
Poor Ricky, it looked like it was his day
But out came a caution, and his lead went away.
His teammate got by to take the lead
Makes some think he is driven by greed.
They're in the sport to race and to win
Not to sit back and just give in.
So win #3 for the UPS guy, two in a row
Is this a sign of how the season will go?
Now a week off to regather their plans
Hurry Talladega, the wait we can't stand!
