LAS VEGAS (March 2, 2008) – Driving the No. 8 U.S. Army Chevrolet, Mark Martin posted his ninth top-10 finish in 11 career Sprint Cup starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Sunday's 10th-place result capped off a stellar weekend that saw Martin post his career-best qualifying effort of third in the Car of Tomorrow.

“Today was a very solid outing by our No. 8 U.S Army Team,” said Martin. “We laid down a great qualifying lap on Friday and backed it up with a strong run in our Soldiers' car. We made a great deal of improvement over last week and we’ll keep building on this and see what we have for them next week in Atlanta.”

“We just have to keep getting better each week,” added crew chief Tony Gibson. “Mark did a great job out there and once again this U.S. Army Team was solid on pit road. They battle like our soldiers with plenty of pride and spirit."
