Mark Martin best at saving fuel at Michigan

Written by Scott Keller · June 15, 2009

Mark Martin has again made Dale Jr. look bad, and won yet another Sprint Cup race in 2009.  The old dude won a fuel mileage race at Michigan International (image that) today, beating his out-of-fuel teammate Jimmy Johnson and an out-of-fuel Greg Biffle in the closing laps. 

The media has called the finish “exciting”.

I’m not sure how exciting the racing was.  Michigan’s 400 miler is always a race to save fuel & Martin showed that he’s the Yoda of fuel saving.

Martin said, “I always come up short in these fuel-mileage races,” said Martin, whose victory was his third of the year. “But I saw the pace they wanted to run at the start and I began saving gas from the third lap.”

So from lap 3 to 200, Martin was saving fuel?   Can you feel the excitement?

The Detroit Free Press has more on the fuel saving festivities.
