Wow, what a great race! Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch led most of the race until they tangled and wrecked. Dale Jr. was up and down along with his teammate, Martin Truex. Dave Gillaland, the star rookie, started on the pole, went 1 lap down, and fought back to 4th with 5 laps to go.
The big story of the day was Mark Martin. After a caution late in the race, Mark Martin took the lead. Mark Martin's career of 26 years has been incredible. He is the quiet man, a class act, great driver, and always consistent. Finishing in the top 10 in season points almost every year, he's never won a championship or a Daytona 500. My driver loyalties went out the window as I cheered Martin on. A wreck caused a red flag, leading to a green/white/checker finish. Coming off turn 4, Harvick got a run and pulled alongside Martin on the outside. Kyle Busch started wrecking behind them as Martin and Harvick had a drag race to the finish. As cars piled up in the tri-oval (Clint Bowyer crossed the finish line on his roof!), Harvick beat martin by a nose (.002 seconds). So close and yet such a disappointment for Martin. Having started the season so well, will Mark Martin change his mind to run a full schedule and have one last try at the Nextel Cup? We can only hope!
