NASCAR @ Phoenix

This weekend, NASCAR was at Phoenix International Raceway. Both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races were night races. This was fun because it was the the first night events of the year. The Nationwide winner was Greg Biffle but I really want to talk about the man who left with the big trophy. Mark Martin was the man on top when the checkered flag waved at P.I.R. on Saturday night. The special thing about this was that Martin became only the 4th person age of 50 or older to win a NASCAR race. I was very happy for Martin, who has been in and out of retirement these last few years. It is obvious that every week, he is one of the best drivers out there. A good percent of the other regulars were nor even born yet when Martin began his legendary career. A thing I also liked about this was when Martin's former car owner, whom he spent most of his career with, came over and congratulated him. That was a touching moment for everyone. If anyone deserved to win this race, it was Mark Martin, a man who has done so much to get NASCAR where it is today.
