In partnership with Race2Play, DBF Motorsports presents The first annual AJ Hotaling Sprint Cup Championship where the top drivers compete for the top stock car honor.

Welcome to the DBF Championship. This is a long event that will test the prowess, skill, and endurance of the drivers competing. Those that are invited have shown dedication to this series and/or a high level of driving skill.

Joseph Martin showed incredible sportsmanship, polished driving skills and a sound pit strategy to win this 250 mile race at Dover. These feats included pushing a fellow competitor's damaged car to his pit stall for repairs under a caution. He then drove back to the front. He used phenominal pit stops and prudent strategy to make it a 2 car race. Try as he might, Chris Barnes could not get by Joseph in the final laps.

Congatulations to Joseph Martin, Chris Barnes, and Tom Moseley.

Thank you to everyone that participated.

Congratulations Joseph!

Yes, great job Joseph.
You're not related to Mark Martin are you? ;)

Thanks...haha, No, I'm not but that's interesting, b/c I actually am cousins with Kyle Petty and their gang. We have family reunions every year...lol.

However, Mark is my favorite driver. ;)

Thanks for the race. I was very happy to win it, as I was good friends with AJ, who we honored with this race. Thanks guys.

Joseph
