sumoroyal Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Mark Martin finishes 31 yesterday and having one of the two best cars at Michigan yesterday. He was up to eighth and was solid in the chase until he came up a half gallon short and ran out of gas on the last lap. With this much at stake, I do not understand why they did not pit for fuel when the caution came out with about 30 laps left. They absolutely could not take the gamble of running out of gas!!!!! They did not need the win but a top ten finish and with one of the best cars he would have come back up throught the field. Martin's crew chief might be in Hendrick's office this morning with some explaining to do. This may be Martin's best chance to ever a championship and a stupid decision may cost him the chase. This acout made me :puke: yesterday at the end of the race!!!:madman::madman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumoroyal Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yes, he is 12th but only like 12 points ahead of Vickers who is running very good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsrider Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 His career. :ohbrother: I read that 4 times before responding. I knew that is probably what he meant but the way it came off to me is he was talking about Bristol. I know Martin is getting old but not that old. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
