Chris Buescher will look to defend his win in last year's Spring race at one of NASCAR's most venerable tracks in Martinsville Speedway on Sunday. 

Buescher already has three top-10 finishes this season (Phoenix, Bristol and Richmond) and is one of the favorites at Martinsville. Look for Denny Hamlin to also have a competitive day with five career Martinsville victories already under his belt. Hamlin and the No. 11 Toyota team are one of the hottest teams in NASCAR with wins at both Bristol and Richmond.
