Mark Martin leaned into the microphone at Richmond International Raceway two weeks ago and, as if daring you to think otherwise, proclaimed his season already “icing on the cake,” and any future success “overwhelming.”
A day later the 50-year-old clinched a spot in NASCAR’s Chase for the Championship.
He scored a Sprint Cup Series best fifth victory in New Hampshire on Sunday, extending his championship lead to 35 points over three-time reigning champ Jimmie Johnson with nine races remaining in stock car’s version of the playoffs.
Overwhelmed it is.
