Here are some things that I find interesting for these top 12 drivers at Homestead. With Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson battling for the 2009 Championship Title in this final race or 2009, neither has a win Homestead.

Jimmie Johnson only has 2 Top 5 finishes compared to Mark Martin’s 4.

Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson both have 5 Top 10 finishes.

DNF’s – both have 1.

Mark Martin has an average finishing position of 12.00 at Homestead-Miami Speedway compared to Jimmie Johnson’s 13.62.

These guys seem to be pretty close in the stats. That does not bid well for Mark Martin.
