You almost could hear the voices in Denny Hamlin's head last week after Mark Martin ran him up the track at Martinsville:

@#$%^&!, I'm mad. I won't take that kind of crap from an old man!

Dude, that's Mark Freakin' Martin. He's like, a four-time almost champ. You can't say jack about what he did to you.

Yeah, but I gotta say something or the rest of the pack will run me over next time.

Do I have to spell it out? You're a rookie, and he has more wins than you have birthdays. Now shut it!

Dustin Long has the story today on the rookies and why they won't keep their big disrespectin' mouths shut. Summary: Rookies have good rides and high expectations, and they can't afford to ease their way into the Cup Series. Just ask Brent Sherman.

My favorite line in the story came from ... Mark Martin: Martin said he told the rookie how he raced Hamlin was how he would have raced any veteran.
