nascar 2009 <> after week #11

no one picked mark martin to win at darlington so no bonus points are awarded this week ... for the 3rd week in a row our nascar 2009 pool has a new leader ... floyd has leapfrogged tom and reclaimed the top spot

6 of the top 7 finishers at darlington ... martin (1) <> johnson (2) <> stewart (3) <> newman (4) <> gordon (5) <> kesolowski (7) ... drove cars with hendricks horsepower

can anyone recall a driver who has made or been involved in as many pit road errors as dale, jr has this season ... the number and consistency of the mistakes is unprecedented in my memory

coming into the season ... we anticipated kyle busch would win his share of races ... we expected jimmie johnson and carl edwards would do the same ... we hoped jeff gordon and tony stewart would win ... we said junior just had to win ... none of us expected mark martin to win ... not once ... certainly not twice ... congratulations mark martin on your 2nd sprint cup win of 2009
