@rjl1184 Yeap, and I totally agree with you. Mark Martin is the greatest driver who never won a championship. I like to call him "The all time bride maid" to the Nascar title. In my opinion he should of retire after he was done with hendrick, because I grew up a Mark Martin and I was shocked to see him go to HMR, but now I say WOW why Michael Waltrip, why a Toyota? I think now I will start cheering for Carl Edwards or Danica Patrick.

Just one of those Fridays. We all have them now and then.

Your thinking of 1990. Alan Kulwicki won the 1992 championship.

@rjl1184 Could of won the 1992 championship (I believe it was) but they were docked 30 points due to post race inspection, causing Dale Sr. to win title.

Mark Martin, the greatest driver who never won a championship. But will always be a champion at heart.

Actually, it was early in this race, the 1994 Winston 500, that I first learned of the death of Ayrton Senna. The race had been put under caution early in the race because a fan had thrown an empty water bottle onto the track. It was during that caution period when the commentators mentioned Senna's death earlier that day. It was somewhat similar to 1975, when Mark Donohue and Tiny Lund (at Talladega) suffered their fatal crashes on the same day.

Dale and Davey couldn't have been 1-2 in this race, considering Davey had been killed in that helicopter crash in the infield at Talladega the previous July. Ernie Irvan was driving the #28 Texaco car in 1994 until he, himself, was nearly killed at Michigan on August 20. By the way, this was the second big crash of this race, if I remember right, as Jimmy Spencer had triggered a huge crash at the same place on the track earlier.

What where they laughing about?
"Say a prayer, Mark." No, what he was really saying was "JESUS CHRIST MY BALLS GOT KNOCKED INTO THE FUEL TANK OW OW OW."
Mark Martin is awesome. One of the toughest guys to ever strap on a stock car.

Watch Mark grab his nuts when his climbs out. That sub belt worked to good and crushed his twig and berries
