Points shake-up puts Setzer in the lead … With a second-place finish at Martinsville, Dennis Setzer (No. 46 AXCIOM Chevrolet) now leads Bobby Hamilton (No. 4 Square D Dodge) by one point in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship standings with only three races remaining. Because of Hamilton’s 26th-place finish, Ted Musgrave (No. 1 Mopar Dodge) and Carl Edwards (No. 99 Superchips Ford) remain in the hunt for the title as well.

Renshaw posts best career finish … Deborah Renshaw (No. 29 K Automotive Ford) finished 15th at Martinsville, her best career finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The Kentucky native is the first female driver to record a top-15 finish this season. That effort marks the best finish since Tina Gordon placed 13th a year ago at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Tammy Jo Kirk remains the top finishing female competitor with an 11th-place performance at Portland Speedway in 1997. “This was exactly the type of day we needed,” Renshaw said.  “To earn my career-best NASCAR Camping World Truck Series finish at the short track in Martinsville is really an accomplishment.  This is the first time that I have raced at this track and I had to learn my way around in the practice sessions.”

Etc. … With three races remaining, this year’s championship battle between Setzer and Hamilton is the closest in series history. In 1999, Greg Biffle led Jack Sprague (No. 16 Chevy Trucks Chevrolet) by 10 points at this same stage. Sprague was the eventual champion. … With Jamie McMurray’s (No. 2 ASE/Carquest Dodge) win on Saturday, twelve different drivers have won in 2004, two short of the record set in 1998. … Bobby Labonte’s third-place finish matched Tony Stewart’s Richmond run as tops by the Morgan-Dollar Motorsports All-Star Chevrolet. … Todd Bodine (No. 30 Germain-Arnold Racing Toyota) finished seventh at Martinsville, after winning the past two events.
