Pit-wall hit ends strong run for pole-winner Martin

...
Thankfully, Martin climbed out and walked away. “It was not as bad as it looked,” Martin said of the impact. “I was concerned right before I hit it. I thought, ‘This could be one of those sudden stops.’”
The incident started when Bobby Labonte spun in front of Juan Montoya, and Kahne and Martin went sideways trying to slow down in the accident’s wake. Once his car started spinning, Martin said he was hoping to miss the pit wall completely, but he soon realized that wouldn’t be possible.
“It’s unfortunate,” he said. “I fought it with everything I had. With where I came from and the speed I came from and the confines of pit road, I couldn’t miss it.”
The accident ended one of the best runs of the season for Martin, who is running a partial schedule for MWR. Afterward, though, he was all smiles, thanking his team, manufacturer and sponsor for the opportunity.
“I’m so grateful,” he said. “I’m not even supposed to be able to get a ride anymore.”
30 laps and 6 wrecks to go...
I hurried back for this?
