09:26 AM ET 08.20 | Mark Martin is emphatic when talking about his lack of 2012 plans. And he's just as emphatic that he isn't stressing over it since he isn't looking for a full-time ride anyway. Obviously one of the possible scenarios is Martin sharing a third Stewart-Haas Racing car with Danica Patrick, who is expected to run at least seven or eight Cup races for the team in 2012. Martin and SHR would need to find sponsorship for him to run the races Patrick doesn't.

From Jayski -- How do you think using the TRD engines will help you for the remainder of the season?
Hamlin: "It's a tough balance because you have some employees that take a lot of pride in their work. When you ultimately switch, some people's feelings get hurt sometimes. We have to do what we have to do to make sure we finish races at this point. Being on the bubble, we cannot afford any DNFs. We're just doing what we have to do. I hate to say it. Toyota is our partner in this whole thing. When we joined them in 2008, they said anything you need, we're going to give it to you. This is a huge request and obviously it's come to this point and hopefully it works out."

I guess we can read-between-the-lines here ... looks like the 11 car will be a TURD R&D car -- Gibbs has given up on the chance that HamBone will be successful in this years Chase and TURD needs someone to see if the "Works Engine" is worth a damn ... I wonder if it has one of the "trick" 85# pans ... LOL

We all should be as lucky as Mark Martin. Not stressing over getting a full time job, or even a part time job as far as that is concerned.

Don't worry about the little Iron Man, he'll always have a ride somewhere,, inbetween soccer games. LMAO

Congrats to Ambrose and well done McDowell.(3rd)
Martin will get something and will be a replacement driver as required.
He's winding down....as he should be......but will still be around, so we don't forget him.
