NASCAR.COM - Gustafson's fuel gamble fails, Martin falls to bubble
Neither Van Gogh nor Pavarotti, with their exquisite talents would've had a prayer of displaying the facial pain or the agony in Hendrick Motorsports crew chief Alan Gustafson's voice as Sunday's sun began to set on Michigan International Speedway.
Gustafson's driver, Mark Martin, and their team have won a league-leading four races -- including a Michigan fuel mileage special in June -- but Martin sits only 12 points away from falling out of the 12-man field for the Chase after his car apparently ran out of fuel on the last lap and Brian Vickers, one of three drivers who still has a shot to race his way into the Chase, won the Carfax 400.
