What The Heck, Martin Gets Who

I know since 48 won the championship I fell out of touch with NASCAR.com but when did this happen?

"Hendrick Motorsports stable

Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Hendrick Motorsports' three drivers behind five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson, are united under the same magnifying glass in 2011 after owner Rick Hendrick aligned his three veteran pilots with new crew chief/race team combinations after last season. How well Gordon does with Alan Gustafson, Earnhardt with Steve Letarteand most importantly, considering 2011 might be his last full-time Sprint Cup season, Martin with Lance McGrew will be riveting viewing."
Top 5: Drivers to watch in 2011 - Dec 31, 2010 - NASCAR.COM

Put your money on Gorden in 2011. Put Martin in 35th in 2011. This SUCKS!!!!!!! God, I hope I'm wrong!

The Headline Tells All!!!!!

Martin rallies to finish second; Earnhardt leads 90 laps and comes home seventh

And I missed the last half of the race!!!

DOG GONE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Kelloggs, Profits, Martin, NASCAR Brand Loyalty

From Yahoo finance.

"Kellogg 3Q profit rises on strong brand loyalty
Kellogg 3rd-quarter profit climbs as North American cereal sales rise
9:54 am EDT, Thursday October 29, 2009

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (AP) -- Kellogg Co. said Thursday that shoppers' loyalty to its cereal brands helped boost its profit 6 percent in the third quarter."
Kellogg 3Q profit rises on strong brand loyalty - Yahoo! Finance

Am I saying NASCAR fans are brand loyal?

The food maker, whose other products include Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It crackers and Rice Krispies cereal, earned $361 million, or 94 cents per share, for the period ended Oct. 3. That's up from $342 million, or 89 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.

Yes I am! Someone in marketing want to dispute it?

Let's All Be Cool And Collective About This

From NASCAR.com

"KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Mark Martin has another pole in his race to win the Chase.

Martin turned a lap of 175.758 mph on a cool, windy Friday on the 1.5-mile oval at Kansas Speedway, earning his career-best seventh pole of the season.

The 50-year-old will start on the front row with teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Sunday's Price Chopper 400, the third of 10 races in the Chase.

Martin has won five times this season and holds a 10-point lead on three-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who qualified 11th.

Earnhardt, who hasn't won since Michigan last year, gets his best starting position this season. Brad Keselowski qualified third.

Five of the top 10 qualifiers are in the Chase." NASCAR.COM - Martin on pole at Kansas, his career-best seventh - Oct 2, 2009

Montoya's Downfall

Speaking not from a Martin prospective, Montoya just wrote his 11th or 12th place finish. Won't be shopping at Target anytime soon! Link not to go to anytime soon,

From NASCAR.com.

""Martin just screwed me -- he just stopped the car on the apex, right on the bottom, and I had nowhere to go," Montoya said. "I could have pushed him out of the way ... but I respect him a lot. [Next time] I won't wreck him, but I will bump him. ..." NASCAR.COM - Martin wins Chase opener, extends lead in standings - Sep 20, 2009
