Gluckometer: Martinsville
Despite the terrible weather on Sunday (the day the Martinsville race was originally scheduled to run), there were enough fans who braved the bone-chilling temperatures and rain to fill the Gluckometer with noise ratings.
The stands may have only been half-full at the time, but the fans in attendance made their voices heard.
This week, the top two drivers remained the same – though they got dramatically different receptions.
Here's who got the most noise in prerace driver introductions, along with what kind of noise they received:
| Driver | dB | Type of Noise | Comment/Explanation | |||
| 1 | Dale Earnhardt Jr. | 92.1 | Cheers | Most popular driver | ||
| 2 | Jimmie Johnson | 88.5 | Boos | Tired of him winning | ||
| 3 | Tony Stewart | 87.6 | Cheers | Popular driver | ||
| 4 | Kyle Busch | 86.9 | Boos | Most disliked by some fans | ||
| 5 | Jeff Gordon | 86.7 | Cheer/boo mix | Fans still split by Gordon | ||
| 6 | Carl Edwards | 85.7 | Cheer/boo mix | Keselowski fallout | ||
| 7 | Mark Martin | 85.3 | Cheers | Popular driver | ||
| 8 | Kevin Harvick | 84.5 | Cheers | Resides nearby | ||
| 9 | Denny Hamlin | 84.0 | Cheers | Virginia native | ||
