Mark vs. Talladega

We all know restrictor plate racing is a joke. I think that was established last year in a few tirades. I'll leave this restrictor plate tirade to my favorite driver Mark Martin: "It's ridiculous, it's way beyond angry -- it's stupid," he fumed. "It would be ignorant for me to be mad about it. It was one of the most fun places I ever came, in 1982 it was just a blast to race here. But in today's day and age, it's hard to have fun when you know that the pin is out of the grenade. "It's just a matter of time before it goes off," he said."
