Johnson did refuse to blame Busch for costing him the victory. After all, the 50-year-old Martin had the car to beat all night long and led 195 of the 267 laps.
Martin and Gordon made it a 1-2 finish for Hendrick Motorsports -- and made a Colorado couple $1 million richer.
It was part of a promotion run by LifeLock, the title sponsor for the June race in Michigan and Saturday night's race at Chicagoland. Donna and Richard Musgrave correctly predicted Martin and Gordon, in any order, would finish 1-2 at Michigan, earning them the trip to Joliet, Ill. to see if they could repeat the feat.
If Martin and Gordon both finished in the top two again, the Musgraves would win the life-changing payout.
Martin won, Gordon was second and the Musgraves went home to New Castle, Colo., to celebrate.
Certainly they went home happier than Busch and Johnson.
