YOU WERE CHASING ONE OF YOUR HEROES, MARK MARTIN. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE CAUGHT HIM IF HE HADN'T RUN OUT OF FUEL? ROGER, WHO IS EASIER TO HANDLE, JOEY OR BRAD? “I can't wait to hear that answer (laughter). No, I mean, it's kind of ironic. In Pocono last year, racing for a win against Mark Martin, my childhood hero, who I can honestly say I wouldn't be sitting here today without him."

urt Busch and Furniture Row Racing keep on rolling. The single-car team based out of Denver, Colo. posted a third-place finish in Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway.
