Martin watches the youth

The veteran is not dead and intends to prove it. Mark Martin, born in 1959, beat the peloton Nascar and his army of highly motivated young guns. Already a winner in Phoenix this season, Mark Martin ideally places himself in the top 12 for the playoffs. Even if the season is still long, collecting points could prove decisive when bringing the first twelve drivers into the playoffs.

Parti de la douzième place, le vétéran a opéré une superbe remontée, au même titre que Jimmie Johnson, son dauphin à l?arrivée, qui était parti en 42ème position. Mark Martin a pris les commandes à 47 tours de l?arrivée pour ne plus lâcher la tête ensuite. Le pilote a profité du jeu des ravitaillements pour se porter en première position, bénéficiant de l?arrêt de certains de ses concurrents sous drapeau jaune. Les Chevrolet font encore carton plein, loin devant les Dodge, Ford et Toyota puisque les « Chevy » occupent les sept premières places à l?arrivée.

Having started the race in the lead, Matt Kenseth did not take advantage of his pole and finished on the edge of the Top 10 while Greg Biffle, for a long time at the front, only ranked eighth. In the general classification, Jeff Gordon keeps the lead and Mark Martin benefits from the 190 points from his victory to return to the Top 12.
