Four Wide: Guess who's beaten Mark Martin the most times

Bringing you the best in NASCAR news and info to start some arguments and set some bets. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever.

• Put this in the "ominous signs" file: Mark Martin has finished second to Jimmie Johnson more times (six) than any other driver in Sprint Cup. Oh, and Jimmie has finished second to Mark only once. Uh-oh. [On the Loose Side]

• Do you live anywhere near Welcome, North Carolina? Yes? Then head on over to Richard Childress Racing HQ for their big Fan Day celebration! Meet Clint Bowyer! Meet Jeff Burton! Meet Kevin Harvick! Meet Casey Mears, while you can! (I've said too much.) It's RCR's 40th anniversary, so help 'em celebrate. [RCR Fan Day]

• In perhaps-related RCR news, the teams of Jeff Burton and Casey Mears are switching crew chiefs. Yes, again. They're gonna have to hand out "Hi, my name is..." nametags before long. [AP via Yahoo! Sports]

• We'll see the debut of double-file restarts this weekend at Martinsville. How's that going to affect the Chase standings? Well, considering JJ will just float over any wreck, probably not much. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on, yes? [Scene Daily]

• Here's another the-Chase-is-a-rigged-numbers-game article. Decent argument, I guess, but we've just about beaten this horse into jerky by now. [Delaware Online]

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car is promoting some ice cream called "Sgt. Camo," or something like that. Endorsements are strange, man. [WQAD]
