When Phil Robertson prayed for God, guns and ammo before the Duck Commander 500, I didn't much care for it.

Fans of God, guns and ammo loved it.

It's the price one pays for living in a free society. One man's freedom of speech is another's dose of castor oil.

Over the past two weeks, Kyle Busch has done his channeled his inner T-Pain. The driver of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota like the famous rapper has proved all he does is wins, wins, wins, no matter what. No matter which series Busch competes in, he seemingly has the hot foot each and every week.

Busch, who led only 34 laps, took the lead from Martin Truex, Jr, on the race's final restart to win his second race of the 2016 season. The victory is also Busch's second career victory at Texas Motor Speedway and the ninth time he has won both the Sprint Cup and Xfinity series races in the same weekend -- the most in NASCAR history.

I've been upbeat ever since last Sunday, and it's hardly a surprise because Martinsville Speedway always leaves me sanguine.

It's a track where one driver, Kyle Busch, leads 352 laps, and it doesn't bother me much. I sort of wish I was there because I wouldn't be limited to what TV chooses to show me, but it's still fascinating to watch all the beating and banging throughout the field. NASCAR couldn't mess up Martinsville if it tried, and I suspect it has.

So Busch dominated the race. He's a great driver. His last three victories have occurred at tracks where he'd never previously won. He'd never even won a Truck race at the .526-mile paperclip, and for Busch, that's hard to, uh, not do. This time he swept the weekend, which no one had ever done before at the track, in part because relatively few have ever tried.

There is an old saying about perserverance, 'if at first you don't succeed, try again 31 times'...or something like that.

This is what Kyle Busch did in Saturday afternoon's Alpha Energy Solutions 250. Busch, who has been to victory lane nearly everywhere in nearly all of NASCAR's divisions, made his 31st career start at Martinsville Speedway in search for one of the storied Grandfather Clock trophies.

Busch finally accomplished his goal by leading 123 laps and holding off a host of fellow competitors on numerous late race restarts. Busch pulled no punches about what it means to be able to bring home a grandfather clock after all these years.

It must be pointed out that the first five races of the Sprint Cup season have little to do with the next one.

Low downforce. High downforce. Get off your high horse. It doesn't matter.

As the German intelligence officer, played by Siegfriend Rauch, said of General George Smith Patton, played by George C. Scott, Martinsville Speedway is "a glorious anachronism."

If I don't see you before Easter, hide your own eggs.

I had a friend who used to say that. He had other designations, some not as clean, for other checkpoints on the calendar.

On the day we honor Christ's resurrection, as well as eggs, bunny rabbits and chocolate in the form of eggs and bunny rabbits, we will not watch the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. They're all hiding eggs this Sunday, many in exotic vacation destinations.

Famed television psychic Miss Cleo couldn't have foreseen the events which allowed Austin Dillon to grab the win in Saturday's TreatMyClot.com 300 at Auto Club Speedway. 

The final lap was hectic to say the least. Short on fuel then-leader Kyle Busch slowed down tremendously and lost the lead to teammate Daniel Suarez. The driver of the No. 19 Toyota, Suarez, ran out of gas on the backstretch giving Busch the lead back. After regaining the lead, Busch cut his left front tire nearly causing him to lose control of his race car.

This is where Austin Dillon came to be a factor. Dillon who was nearly a half of a lap behind Busch powered forward and through contact with Busch's No. 18 Toyota to take the checkered flag.

Dillon, who led only one lap, believed the contact from Busch was out of desperation.
