For the fifth time in his illustrious career, Mark Martin finished runner-up in the ?Cup?. After failing behind drivers like Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart, it is now behind Jimmie Johnson that the Hendrick Motorsports driver failed for 141 points. However, he only wants to retain the best.

« There is no frustration. I am very proud of what we accomplished and above all, I had a lot of fun”, did he declare. " For me just to have a chance is pretty incredible. »

With 108 points behind at the start of the last race in Miami, Martin knew that the mission was almost impossible.
