Throwback of the week

Mark Martin will run the Sprint Cup All-Star race May 21 for Hendrick Motorsports in car No. 25. The car will have a paint scheme based on the red No. 25s fielded by Rick Hendrick in 1986 when driver Tim Richmond won seven races and eight poles.

Gesture of the week

Five-time defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson is lending a helping hand on an off week for the series. Johnson and team owner Hendrick are providing $1,000 each for employees and customers of a Lowe's store demolished when a tornado hit April 16 in Sanford, N.C. The credit can be applied toward a down payment on a new or used car, or maintenance and/or repairs on a current or future car from Hendrick dealerships. The roughly 100 people in the store survived, but the tornado destroyed 70 or so vehicles in the parking lot.
