THE SEASON: Roush-Fenway Racing dropped in terms of statistical performance in 2009 as a whole, though Greg Biffle, as the team's eldest statesman (he's roughly two and a half years older than teammate Matt Kenseth), didn't slip as much as the team's other drivers.

Coming off his second-best points result in 2008 (3rd), Biffle and his No. 16 crew seemed primed and ready to take a swing at stopping Jimmie Johnson's drive to become Mr. Four-In-A-Row. Unfortunately, Biffle struck out -- just like the rest of the NASCAR drivers.

Biffle's performance in 2009 didn't quite take the surprising downward turn of his RFR teammates. But instead of penciling himself in as a favorite come time for the Chase in '09, Biffle's regular season performance hardly raised an eyebrow. He wasn't back-of-the-pack bad, but he wasn't consistent-threat-to-win good, either.

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- The most surprised person to find Mark Martin in Victory Lane at Michigan International Speedway was the driver himself.

The 50-year-old NASCAR star has run well but has had to deal with considerable bad luck this season. It looked like more of the same Sunday when the battery in his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet began to fail before the halfway mark in the LifeLock 400 Sprint Cup race.

Martin turned off everything in the car that he could, nursing it as best he could. Then he realized the race was going to be a fuel economy run.
