The Mark Martin 2007 story got even more interesting following his impressive third-place finish in Sunday's Samsung 500 Nextel Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.  After taking the previous two races off as part of his limited schedule for Ginn Racing, Martin came back with another solid performance.  The U.S. Army driver, who has now competed in five Cup races this season, posted his fifth straight top-10 result and fourth top five.  Despite missing the two races in Bristol, Tenn. and Martinsville, Va. Martin is 11th in driver points, within the top-12 of the Chase cutoff.  In Nextel Cup owner points, the 01 team jumped from sixth to fourth.

"This team is just awesome -- they are the best I've ever worked with," said Martin moments after climbing out of his No. 01 U.S. Army Chevrolet.  "I want to be careful about bragging too much, but I have hit the lotto.  To be able to drive these cars for this team is a dream come true.  And to be able to step away when I want to, I just could not imagine having that kind of privilege.  I just really, really love working with Ryan (Pemberton, crew chief) and the team. They are so excited and that makes it so much fun to go to work."
