Victory video: Mark Martin thumps the field at Loudon

Sunday afternoon at Loudon, and the day was dominated by a 125-pound sprite who gave the entire field the business, as they used to say. Mark Martin held off a charging Juan Pablo Montoya, a slick-driving Denny Hamlin and an opportunistic Kurt Busch (not to mention a completely foulmouthed Jeff Gordon) for the win. Don't believe me? Here, check it out:

Martin and Montoya were hands-down the best drivers on the afternoon, a state of affairs which needs to concern the so-called "frontrunners." And while both Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart fought their way to the front for periods of time, neither one was able to hang on. And so if you can tell me who's the favorite right now, I'll give you 11 other good choices. (Well, maybe not 11, but you know what I mean.)
