JOLIET, Ill. (AP) Mark Martin has won at Chicagoland Speedway, getting the strong jump off the double-file restart with two laps left to win his series-high fourth race of the season.

The 50-year-old Martin led 195 laps on Saturday night, the most at the 400-mile race. He dominated most of the early part of the race until he dropped the lead to Jimmie Johnson with just over 40 laps left.

But a frantic finish that saw Johnson and Kurt Busch tangle on the track allowed Martin his chance to regain the lead.

Jeff Gordon's hard-charging finish got him second place.

Martin and Gordon are Hendrick Motorsports teammates and earned a $1 million bonus. The teammates also grabbed the top two spots at the LifeLock sponsored race in June, setting up the shot at the big cash prize.

Not bad for a 50 year old man!

1. Good for the Old Man...

And as usual, Junior sucked ass.
Is there a more over rated figure in Nascar, than the driver of the #88 car?

He couldn't drive a shopping cart through the parking lot of a Publix.

2. He's only got his father's name, not his skills.

I'm glad to see Mark winning. A long time coming!
