Four Wide: Guess who's beaten Mark Martin the most times
Bringing you the best in NASCAR news and info to start some arguments and set some bets. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever.
• Put this in the "ominous signs" file: Mark Martin has finished second to Jimmie Johnson more times (six) than any other driver in Sprint Cup. Oh, and Jimmie has finished second to Mark only once. Uh-oh. [On the Loose Side]
• Do you live anywhere near Welcome, North Carolina? Yes? Then head on over to Richard Childress Racing HQ for their big Fan Day celebration! Meet Clint Bowyer! Meet Jeff Burton! Meet Kevin Harvick! Meet Casey Mears, while you can! (I've said too much.) It's RCR's 40th anniversary, so help 'em celebrate. [RCR Fan Day]
• In perhaps-related RCR news, the teams of Jeff Burton and Casey Mears are switching crew chiefs. Yes, again. They're gonna have to hand out "Hi, my name is..." nametags before long. [AP via Yahoo! Sports]
• We'll see the debut of double-file restarts this weekend at Martinsville. How's that going to affect the Chase standings? Well, considering JJ will just float over any wreck, probably not much. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on, yes? [Scene Daily]
• Here's another the-Chase-is-a-rigged-numbers-game article. Decent argument, I guess, but we've just about beaten this horse into jerky by now. [Delaware Online]
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car is promoting some ice cream called "Sgt. Camo," or something like that. Endorsements are strange, man. [WQAD]

Is Mark resigned to 2nd place in his career or will he drive harder to break that?

Are you'un tired of finishing no better than second to a convicted felon who recently I have read in the Charlotte Observer may have gotten favoritism from the former gov. of NC for gifts? Where have we heard this before? Are you'un tired of trying to compete fair and square only to be competing against a CHEATER. If you'un are, just call 1-800-PUMPED-COBRA. Feel the thrill of victory and laugh at the agony of defeat as the 48 is drug up on a roll back. With PC in you'un car, I will guaranflockingtee the 48 will finish no better than 40th. Feel the excitement of going to the track and actually having a chance to win. Realize for once you will be rewarded for you'un hard work. and please you'un sponsors. See new sponsors come on board. See the stands start to overflow with fans again. With PC on you'un side you have someone who punches back. See Billy Bad Butts laying on their back with they eyes closed looking at the back of they eye lids. Make that call. 100% satisfaction.
Once again, the number to call is 1-800-PUMPED-COBRA.
