Mark Martin just wants to win. Well he is certainly doing that and more. After a rough start to his 2009 season Martin has rebounded nicely. Martin has racked up three wins and sits 8th in the Sprint Cup standings. If the Chase were to start today Martin would be the point leader along with Kyle Busch because both have three wins.
Many put Martin in championship contention when he and car owner Rick Hendrick announced that Martin would drive the number 5 Kellogg’s Chevrolet full-time in 2009.
Martin brushed off talk about championships saying he always thought about championship and they never happened. He wants to focus on winning races and everything else will take care of itself.
What he’s saying is true, but he has to know deep down inside that he has a legitimate shot at not only competing for a cup title, but having a realistic chance of capturing that Sprint Cup trophy that has alluded him his entire career.
Martin is poised to take this ride and see where it leads him. If I were in Vegas, I would put a bet down on Mark Martin to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup title this season. Oh yeah and the NASCAR awards banquet is in Las Vegas this year. Stay tuned. We may be seeing Mark Martin at the head of the table posing with his new best buddy, that NASCAR Sprint Cup trophy.
