  • 2009 was a great year for the Michigan International Speedway’s races in the NASCAR Cup Series. In the late summer there was a fuel mileage race and borderline upset winner of the year and in the 2009 LifeLock 400 there was a finish where nobody seemed to want to win. This is the Michigan NASCAR race nobody wanted to win.

    The ending to this race is like a horror movie where you think you’ve taken out the monster but he comes back to slay another one of the characters. Jimmie and Mark were that monster and Biffle was just another victim.

    This was literally the most hyped I had ever been for a Mark Martin win. I had seen so many wins slip away due to fuel mileage woes but today Mark was the benefactor. It was like all those other loses made this one so much sweeter.

    Jimmie Johnson seemed to be great at Michigan for the majority of his career. He should have had at least 5 wins there. Instead, 2014 would be Johnson's only victory at the track. Also, Martin's 2009 resurgence was so awesome to see. Too bad he could never win the elusive cup title.

    The entire run on TNT that year was wild. The week before at Pocono Stewart won on fuel, the next week Mark Martin does the same, the week after that the most chaotic Sonoma race I personally ever seen, the iconic Daytona finish, the Chicagoland race nobody talks about, and Joey Logano’s history making win at New Hampshire.

    I remember watching the final laps of this and being blown away. First you have Johnson who is stinking up the sport with his run of championships and all, and when it cycles to Biffle, it’s like “okay, that could be cool and work” and then he runs out of gas, and Mark Martin gets another win in his breakout year at HMS and is a feel good moment for the old timer, but the unexpectedness of it all, it was maddening

    As a Jimmie Johnson fan when I was a kid, I remember when he ran out of fuel, I turned off the TV. I didn’t like Greg Biffle at the time. Then I decided to turn on the tv right after cuz I was like “might as well finish it”. I’m so glad I got to witness history 😂😂

    That 2009 Michigan race was jaw-dropping, Johnson and Biffle had really fast cars and both of there cars ran out of fuel and Mark Martin just basically cruised his way to the checker flag. It was a shock in my eyes when I was younger.

    I was there. When we were walking to the lot, I was listening to MRN on my scanner. A guy walked up to me and asked me which one won. I told him Mark Martin won. He said no no, which one made it, Johnson or Biffle. I said neither Mark Martin won. He was pretty bummed that he left early.

    I was watching this hoping both Darth (Jimmie) and Biffle would run out and Mark would steal one but just knew that was not going to happen, because Mark Martin couldn't buy that kind of luck. Watching him flash by the 16 on the last lap was so satisfying. Probably one of the top-10 moments as a Mark Martin fan.

    Jimmy is such a kind dude, but winning 5 straight either winning every week of finishing top 3-5, it just felt like a nightmare as you saw the stands slowly get more and more empty, and when he won the worst race in nasvar history the 08 brickyard it was just a slap in the face. And I’m a Hendrick guy but I’ll always say if it weren’t for Jeff having jimmy join in 02, he would’ve had 7-8 cups and easy would’ve been #2 all time winner.
