NASCAR News From Saturdays Subway Fresh Fit 500

What a result for the amazing Mark Martin, his 36th victory of his career, and probobly the most fulfilling of them all.

Martin lead over half (157) of the races 312 circuits, giving him his first victory for a long awaited 97 race winless streak.
Over the last 4 years retirement has been crossing the mind of Martin, maybe he will start to think otherwise after this incredible and fulfilling win at Phoenix International Raceway.
