I have a couple ideas as to why Mark Martin has never won a championship. He will go down as the best driver in Nascar history never to have won a championship, IMHO. But there are a few reasons why that may be true. Firstly, the guy is just not an aggressive driver. How many times can you remember where he bumped someone for a win? Or got into any scrapes for aggressive driving? Guys like Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Dale Sr. won championships because they were willing to take some risks if need be. They weren't afraid to use the bumper if the need arose. So in that respect Mark is just not aggressive enough. Also, Mark has never been a dominant driver at restrictor plate tracks, which are four races each year. He constantly complains about them and never has done very well, unlike Gordon and Earnhardt. I would love to know his average finish at Daytona and Talledega compared to other past champions. Basically, he throws away four races every year. Roush has never been known for its restrictor plate program, which has hurt Mark over the years. I just don't think you can win a championship by tossing 4 races out the window. Mark has always done well at intermediate tracks and road races, but when it comes to restrictor plates he just isn't guaranteed there. Mark doesn't have enough 'killer' instinct... |

No penalties on each. As for the points penalty on Mark, that was the year he was neck and neck with Dale. And many people point to that penalty as what did him in. |

Or Ford. Chevy is their pet, and always has been. I mean, you don't see Ford advertising how many titles they've won out of so many years during the Daytona 500 broadcast, do ya? ;-) |

I've been a fan for 25 years, shithead. But if you want to look at recent history, then two Fords have won recently. Fact. And frankly, it has nothing to do with the allegation that NASCAR hates Roush, since two Roush cars have won recently. And secondly, it has nothing to do with my original post about MM. Pay attention, numby. |

Kenseth or no one, so Jack took the deal. nascar had so much fun with that they gave KuB the title, knowing no one really liked him and it would really torque Jack to have to be buddy-buddy with ol' big ears. When KuB left RR ... well that was icing on nascar's cake. |
