I think Mark can still get his first Championship if he goes full-time OR if he goes back to the Nationwide Series full-time. I thought he could have won the 2009 Championship if he didn't flip at Dega'.
I hope he wins this year in either Cup or Nationwide to shut the haters up. When he got this MWR ride I remember people saying he should retire and that he's wasting space. Well 1: Why should he retire and 2: Is he really wasting space by being competitive? And if he is wasting space who would be a better fit?
I just think it's wrong to say those things. Now if he was literally taking up space by wrecking and finishing in the bottom 10 positions every race then it's a different story.
Really wish they'd cut the fat from these pre race shows... For one I have to go to work in 2 and a half hours!!! I prefered watching those old Daytona 500's on Youtube...
