Prior to the start of last weekend’s Dickie’s 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, many in the motorsports media had all but conceded the 2009 Sprint Cup championship to Jimmie Johnson. In fact, they had all but done so following his win at Dover in the second race of the 10-race playoff format. Mark Martin, on the other hand, was less than willing to kowtow to the general consensus of the press, tersely responding to one such leading question with, “You just don’t have any idea how much racing eight races is, I guess.”

While remaining defiant in the face of such doom and gloom, Martin has remained positive, focusing on each race rather than obsessing over every point earned or lost. It was that neurosis that nearly led to him walking away for good a few years ago, and the cause of so much despair and near-explosions of his temporal vein.

While Johnson spent the majority of the race last weekend in the garage, the combined power of Hendrick Motorsports trying to get his Lowe’s Impala drivable again, Martin cruised to a fourth-place finish, once again thrusting him back into title contention and setting the stage for a comeback as improbable as the one staged by his late friend and competitor, 1992 Cup champion Alan Kulwicki.
