AVONDALE, Ariz. - Mark Martin has competed in every NASCAR Cup race staged at Phoenix International Raceway, but he'll undoubtedly remember Saturday night's Subway Fresh Fit 500 more than any of those that came before.

Martin, who started from the pole, became the oldest winner (50) of this event after winning for the first time since his victory at Kansas in the fall of 2005. It was his first victory for Hendrick Motorsports, the NASCAR Sprint Cup team he joined this season. Morgan Shepherd was the last driver 50 or older to win a Cup race. Shepherd's victory came in 1993 at Atlanta. He was 51.

"He makes dreams come true," Martin said of team owner Rick Hendrick in victory lane, adding, "I hurried so hard to the white flag, so they couldn't have a green-white-checkered."

It never came to that - not even close. Martin blew by Stewart-Haas Racing's Ryan Newman, who did not pit under the final caution and was beset by faulty radio communications, and pulled away from eventual runnerup Tony Stewart. Stewart, bidding for his first win as team co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing, said, "We're gonna get us a win here real soon."

Rounding out the top five were Penske Racing's Kurt Busch, Hendrick's Jimmie Johnson and Roush Fenway Racing's Greg Biffle. Busch said of the winner, his former teammate at the team now known as Roush Fenway Racing: "The guy has been at the top of his game for 30 years in this sport. …  He is tough right now."

Martin was tough and just a tad quicker off pit road in nipping Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch at the stripe following the final stop before leading the final six laps. Busch was tagged for speeding off pit road, and he was forced to restart 17th.

That left Stewart to try and track down Martin, but he never threatened the sport's most venerable driver.

"There's nobody who doesn't like Mark. … [He] is somebody that everybody respects," Stewart said.

Points leader Jeff Gordon had an adventurous night. Contact with JGR's Denny Hamlin left Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet with left-side damage nearly midway through the race. Richard Petty Motorsports' AJ Allmendinger's hard lick in between turns 1 and 2 brought out the fourth caution of the night on lap 152 and Gordon made his way to pit road for repairs. Later, though, on lap 235, Gordon was forced to return to pit road due to a lug-nut issue. He finished 25th.

The night was equally dramatic for Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who inherited the lead on lap 168 by staying off pit road. Earnhardt Jr. eventually sailed away to a 4-second lead with the benefit of clean air. He led 52 laps before his tires, 14 laps older than those of the leaders who hit pit road, went away. Earnhardt Jr., still off sequence, retook the lead but could not hold it. His night came to grief on lap 301 when he wrecked in between turns 3 and 4. He finished 31st.

    Congrats Mark and the team! Will Mr. Hendrick ever fix the 88 team? Another top 31 finish for Dale Jr. wow... The bottom line: another dismal qualifying effort,the crew can't adjust the car during the race so we spin the "we can't fix it, so what'll we do now?" wheel and it stopped at "keep Dale out while the others pit" Yeah, that'll fix it! So... he gets tangled up with another "I wanna be a cup star driver" and comes home in 31st position... C'mon Mr. Hendrick this team is STILL NOT a team! The clock is ticking and the season / chase is steadily fading away. Sleep good Junior Nation! do you hear those screams in the night? bad dream... tick,tick,tick...

    This was an awesome race for Mark, Allan, and the crew. Its a shame Rick and Terry couldn't have been there when that #5 rolled into VL. It would have been a heck of a party. Mark is definitely a Chase contender if he can keep this going. Heck, If he would have run a full season at DEI he might have had his Championship already.

I think David Pearson could still win IF he really wanted to. Way to go Mark, I knew you had it in you. But no, we both know that NO one can beat God, so that statement was not true. All else is well here though, in the NASCAR world at least.

    #9 please dont say God couldnt have stopped Mark Martin. God is the only one who can stop every car on the track if he wanted too. I was glad to see Mark Martin win. That was the first Mark Martin win I have ever seen. It was great. I remember Kasey Kahne's Allstar win. That was the very first win by him I got to see, at least live. Then he goes and wins the 600. That's what Mark Martin's poles and win felt like to me. Pure Awesomeness, He will win more. Great Job Mark Martin. Shout out to Reed Sorenson and Kasey Kahne for 12th and 13th finishes. Sorry about AJ and Elliot's finishes. I just know if they had the R6 Engines they would have got better finishes. Kasey and Reed need the R6 as well. Poor Dale Jr. now im starting to feel sorry for him. Great run for Stewart. I would have loved to see Stewart or Junior win. But my real driver of the race was actually someone besides Kasey Kahne, I mean I wanted him to win too, but Mark Martin was my guy Saturday. Now maybe people will shut up about you. #25 I was at my aunts and my cousin recorded it for me and I was very happy for the out come of the race, but I watched it live, DVR is cool. I got to show the end of the race to my Aunt because she missed it. But yeah great win for Mark Martin.
