Sprint Cup Series is a motorsports racing series in NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing).
On April 18, 2009, Mark Martin became the oldest driver ever to win at the Phoenix International Raceway at age 50. Martin had started the race in the pole position and led 157 out of 312 laps. It was Martin's 36th victory of his career.Auto Racing Daily: Phoenix International Raceway Results (April 19, 2009)
2009 Season
The 2009 season kicked off on February 15, 2009, at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. The last race will take place on November 22 at the Homestead Miami Speedway. Total distance covered by the drivers during the season on the racetrack will be over 14,000 miles. One rule change was implemented for the season, allowing for a single-line restart during the last 20 laps, versus the previous rule which only included the last 10 laps. The economy has played a role in this season, as corporate sponsors are finding it harder to finance various teams because of the economic downturn in profitability.
