Tough day for BBM at Martinsville:

Billy Ballew Motorsports headed to the Martinsville Speedway with two Craftsman Trucks entered in the Kroger 250. Bill Lester, the team’s primary driver, was in the #15 Red Top Auto Auction truck and Paul Menard, the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series regular, piloted the #51 Moen Faucets/Pittsburgh Paints Chevy as part of a joint Lester’s engine expired on lap 37, placing him in the garage early with a 36th place finish. Menard ran 148 of the 250 laps when a crank shaft broke on the #51 placing him to the 33rd position in the race.(Billy Ballew Motorsports PR)(4-2-2007)
