Joliet, Ill. — Mark Martin won at Chicagoland Speedway after getting a strong jump off a double-file restart with two laps left to win his fourth race of the season.

The 50-year-old Martin led 195 laps Saturday night, the most at the 400-mile race. He dominated most of the early part of the race until he dropped the lead to Jimmie Johnson with just over 40 laps left. But a frantic finish that saw Johnson and Kurt Busch tangle on the track allowed Martin his chance to regain the lead.

“That was fun,” Martin said. “That’s what life is all about.”

Jeff Gordon’s hard-charging finish notched him second place.

Martin and Gordon are Hendrick Motorsports teammates and earned a $1 million bonus. The teammates also grabbed the top two spots at the LifeLock sponsored race in June, setting up the shot at the big cash prize.

“I saw Jeff coming and I was like, ‘Get it, get it,”‘ Martin said. “I wanted him to get it. This is really, really special. Incredible what everybody does for us.”

Kyle Busch had a dreadful night, and was unruly on the radio as his No. 18 car was on the track and finished 33rd. He complained all race about his car to his crew and fell to 10th in the points standings.

Martin went from 13th to 11th to propel himself into contention for a spot in the Chase for the championship.

Kasey Kahne was third. Points leader Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top five.

Hamlin briefly took the lead late when he pushed past Johnson off a restart. Johnson got loose and bumped into Busch. Busch slammed back, sparking chaos for the two former Cup champions.

Busch and Johnson also ran into each three races back at Sonoma. Busch finished 17th and criticized Johnson’s performance on the track.

Nuerburgring, Germany — Red Bull’s Mark Webber earned pole position for Formula One’s German Grand Prix ahead of Brawn GP’s Rubens Barrichello on Saturday. Webber secured his first career pole with a fastest lap of 1 minute, 32.230 seconds around a slippery Nuerburgring circuit.

Franchitti captures pole

Toronto — Dario Franchitti captured his third pole in five IndyCar Series races on Saturday for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, beating part-time Penske driver Will Power for the top spot for today’s Honda Indy.

Seven drivers made one lap before the session was halted because of rain, and when it resumed 73 minutes later the track was still wet and slippery, and Franchitti was one of several drivers to spin out.

The sun broke through and the track was dry in time for the three rounds of qualifying, and Franchitti’s crew made the right changes to his Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda when it mattered the most.

Power was followed by Graham Rahal, Watkins Glen winner Justin Wilson, Canada’s Alex Tagliani, and Mike Conway.
