Denny Hamlin believes he has spot for latest Martinsville Speedway...
With his dramatic victory in Sunday's STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway, Denny Hamlin earned his fifth Martinsville grandfather clock. Asked after the race about where the treasured clock will reside, Hamlin wasn't entirely committal. 20, 2013 -- more than two years after what had been the driver's most recent Martinsville win -- does have an idea about where Sunday's hardware might end up. "It's Taylor's first clock, so it will probably go in her room," the driver of the No.... Wherever he ultimately decides to put his fifth grandfather clock, this much is certain: Winning grandfather clocks never gets old for the Chesterfield, Virginia native. "I've dreamed about winning a clock for a long, long time. I remember going to my old Late-Model guy, Bugs Hairfield's house all the time, and he's won a Late-Model race here, and it says 'Martinsville winner' right there and he's got it in his living room. I was racing Late Models with him, I was thinking, 'How awesome would it be to win at Martinsville. ' I came close to getting it done in Late Models, but I never did.
What is grandfather clocks?
Dale Jr. wants another grandfather clock from famed short track - Fort Worth...
Be sure to include your name, daytime phone number, address, name and phone number of legal next-of-kin, method of payment, and the name of the funeral home/crematory to contact for verification of death. But Earnhardt acknowledged some wins carry extra meaning and that is certainly the case as he returned to Martinsville Speedway this weekend for Sunday’s STP 500 at the famed Virginia short track, which sits less than 10 miles from the North... Earnhardt always came to the track when he was growing up because of its proximity to his childhood home. “It is one of the few tracks that I always got to go to even as a young kid,” Earnhardt said. “You could get right up on the action, man, right against the fence down there in the corner and see the guys coming through there in practice. Richard Petty won a track-record 15 times, and Darrell Waltrip has 11. Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon have each won eight times at the track, most among active drivers. “It takes some driver to win here,” Earnhardt said. “I don’t often take a lot of credit for everything we do good out there, but I will say that at Martinsville it does take a little bit of driver to do well here. I feel like when you win at certain tracks like Martinsville you can feel good about it that you were part of that puzzle and part of making that happen.
Grand Home Furnishings Renews As Official Provider of Grandfather Clock...
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (March 19, 2015) – Martinsville Speedway and Grand Home Furnishings, two companies with long and storied histories and deep Virginia roots, are continuing their long-standing relationship. Roanoke-based Grand Home Furnishings, which has long been the source of the iconic grandfather clock winner’s trophy, has extended its status as the official provider of the grandfather clocks. “Our company, Grand Home Furnishings, is a family business. This marks the 51st year the track has given a grandfather clock to the race winner. Fred Lorenzen took home the first clock in 1964. Since then the clock has found its way into the homes of the sport’s biggest stars. Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are just some of the drivers who have taken home multiple clocks. Whenever we can find a partner that shares the same heritage is great not only for us, but the Commonwealth of Virginia,” said Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell. “Grand Home Furnishings is a company based out of Roanoke, just an hour up the road from us. The fact that they remain locally-owned and family-operated makes it even better. Racing action returns to Martinsville Speedway March 27-29 for the STP 500 race weekend.
