Rain Comes At Perfect Time For Moffitt – Iowa Teenager Claims Rain-Shortened Martinsville Race
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Brett Moffitt finally has the trophy to go with the fast car. It just happens to be one of the most sought after prizes in NASCAR race: A grandfather clock from Martinsville Speedway.
Moffitt was out front when rain shortened the UNOH Performance 200 to 175 laps Sunday afternoon, giving the 17-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing development driver from Grimes, Iowa, his third career NASCAR K&N Pro Series East win.
Moffitt has had one of the top cars in each of his last three races – leading a race-high 36 laps in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Phoenix, running in the top five in the East race at South Boston, Va., and leading 54 laps in the East-West combination race at Iowa. Each time, however, he was involved in accidents that took him out of contention.

Martinsville, Va. (June 7, 2010): Matt Kobyluck wheeled the No. 40 Mohegan Sun Casino Chevrolet to a solid fourth place finish in the inaugural UNOH 200 at Martinsville Speedway Sunday afternoon. Rain halted the race 175 laps into it’s 200 lap scheduled distance. It was Kobyluck’s second top-five of the season and moved the team up to seventh in the points four races into the schedule.
“It was a great day for us,” said Kobyluck after the race. “I was hoping that they’d be able to get the track dried out for us in time to finish the last 25 laps because I think we had a car to win today.”
Kobyluck posted two identical qualifying laps of 20.775 seconds to earn the 13th position on the starting grid. The 2008 series champion showed patience running in seventh for most of the first half of the race.
