FX Last year's all star champ Mark :00 Martin was in the fray plenty in the
first segment, running right over his
Roush teammate Jamie McMurray who goes
on a wild ride.

Then Martin gets impatient with
Scott Riggs in the tri-oval trading
some more paint.

Kurt Busch didn't fare much
better. His night went up in smoke
just about 20 laps in. That's when the
rain showers returned. The first
segment just wrapped up and Kyle Busch
was out front. We'll have a complete

lame just a couple of hundred yards

leg.
