such a random special night this was for me.... this was the night I got my first laptop age 12.5 (a windows XP Dell Latitude second hand puppy), and I got home with my laptop in hand around lap 50 or so. Being a lifelong Mark Martin fan and seeing him up front my first order of business was loading up the NASCAR page... I had that dinosaur laptop in my hands for 4 hours straight as I witnessed my old dog perform new tricks in his new 5 ride. Watched all the postrace footage, and fell asleep watching the finish on youtube. You have no idea how special it is to relive this race in full HD... I'm looking forward to the rest of Mark's wins particularly Michigan and Darlington
This coverage was special. DW and Larry Mac genuinely love the sport. That passion mixed with their quirkiness is what made it so special. Throw in Mike Joys endless knowledge of NASCAR History and booming voice that demands attention and you have a great mix.
I remember my mom, dad and myself eating dinner and watching this race in the kitchen, and it was looking like Mark was gonna run away with it and Mears dumped Jr (which pissed my dad off to no end) and my mom was wigging out because she wanted Mark to win so badly. When he pulled it off, all three of us were so excited.

That was an electric call of the start to the race

The first race I ever watched
Next race.... Talladega babyyyy!!!!
Maybe the best win of the ‘09 season. Mark back where he deserves to be
The race that Mark Martin broke his winless streak, dating back to Kansas in 2005
seeing harvick run like that at phoenix is insane, that team struggled really bad in 09 but they turned it around next season.

I remember this race
First 15 laps I saw tire smoke from brake lockups from at least 10 cars
