As we move closer to the end of the Sprint Cup this season, we find that Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin are still at it. Last weekend, Martin gained some ground on Johnson by getting a 4th place finish and ending up in a good spot. He still trails by over a hundred points with two races left. Martin will have to race smart and have a bit of luck to catch Johnson. If Johnson doesn’t finish again this week and possibly also next, Martin might be able to take the victory. This seems less likely with each passing week and I think most commentators find that to be improbable. But this weekend, they are racing at Phoenix, which was Martin’s first location victory this season, so it might have extra meaning for that reason. Keep watching, because it’s going to be exciting!
