I would love to see Martin finish up the season. He is doing great so far this season a 2nd and two 5th place finishes.

If he thinks that he has a better chance of winning by racing only twice a month he should do so, my biggest question though is if the points system would allow him to be in The Chase at the end of the season using this method.
If he takes a couple races off there is no chance he will finish in the top 12 and make the “Chase for the Cup” Even the 43rd place driver in the race gets 34 points. He only wants to run 20 races this season and missing six races before the ten race chase wouldn’t make that possible.
