MARTINSVILLE, VA--- With 17 laps to go, Jimmie Johnson gives up his lead to Kurt Busch, giving Kurt the win at Martinsville today.

"Man, that's all I had, that's all I could do.", said Johnson, who led a stunning 296 laps today out the overall 500 laps, and finished 0.263 seconds behind Busch. "I wish we could have gotten the win for (team owner) Rick's (Hendrick's) 30th anniversary here, but we just came up a little short."

Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch were caught up in a fued on Pit Road. 

Brad showed his feelings with this comment:

"I started to check up and I just barely got in the back of (Kahne), and Kurt just accelerated and drove through us, absolutely drove through us. I tell you what, I'm about tired of his recklessness. Kurt tore the whole suspension off the car, so it won't turn. It won't do anything. Thanks, Kurt. Appreciate it bud."

Kurt started to get personal with his team, with this remark: "What a good kid, (sarcasm), guess we get to get in a fight afterwards, because I'm going to go (expletive) that dude's (expletive) face up."

To round things up, Kurt said this, "I didn't know if we'd be able to do it, (Johnson) is king here, this is an unbelievable feeling."
