    I'm SO freaking happy about this... and also REALLY glad those last two "incidents" didn't result in cautions! I'm not sure I could have held my breath any longer!

    Martin is a great guy and fantastic model boater. He has 11 current SAW & oval records in the IMPBA. Like Darin I couldn't be happier for him on this win, and NASCAR record. The last few laps of that race was intense!

    I did not know he was a model boater racer as well....viewed his win and it was a truly dominating performance, and also I was glad to see no bogus win by another competitor on the remaining few laps with a caution. I know it spices up the show but I often wonder on some very dubious calls by Nascar officials for a yellow flag/caution with a few laps remaining ....minor debris off the racing line as one example.

    You do have to wonder about some of the last minute minor debris cautions.

    I actually was screaming at the TV during those last few laps when those cars kept out on the track at speed after getting tires cut-down. I would have REALLY been pissed if they'd thrown a flag!
