Joe Gibbs Racing still strong

Denny Hamlin won the pole for Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway and it looks like Joe Gibbs Racing will have another strong showing with NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow.
This will be the second race NASCAR Nextel Cup Series drivers will race the Car of Tomorrow. The first race was last weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Hamlin and Tony Stewart, both drivers for Joe Gibbs Racings, had dominate cars at Bristol, but ran into trouble and didn't finish the race well.
Stewart will start the Martinsville race seventh. J.J. Yeley, the third driver at Joe Gibbs Racing, earned the fifth starting spot.
Perhaps Joe Gibbs Racing has figured out the Car of Tomorrow quicker than the other teams have.
"I think they are just good teams all the way around and good drivers. They have a great combination," said Jeff Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "I think no matter what car you put out there on the track, they are going to get it figured out."
Hamlin said the key to the success of the team might be because of its Indy Racing League experience. Stewart was a driver in the IRL and a number of the crew members have IRL experience. That might give them a better understanding of how a car with a rear wing performs in race conditions.
"Not to say that is the only reason for our success, because we are on a slower track and the wings don't mean so much," said Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 for Joe Gibbs Racing. "So really, I think we are just one of the teams that has adapted to it. I am not going to say we are the best team, it is kind of conceited to say it. But we are one of the better teams right now."
Gordon said the recent success of Joe Gibbs Racing might be simply because Hamlin, Yeley and Stewart are good short track racers.
"There is no doubt they have their act together," Gordon said. "But is it because they figured out the Car of Tomorrow or is it because they are good? With the old car they may have come in and done the same thing."
