Mark Martin took Dale Earnhardt Jr. to Victory Lane by winning the Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, then immediately apologized for an accident he started in the closing laps.

Martin, the winningest driver in NASCAR’s No. 2 series, raced to the 48th victory of his career Saturday in a car owned by Earnhardt’s JR Motorsports. But the win came at the expense of Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski, who races full-time for Earnhardt.

After winning 18 of 36 races last season, Hendrick Motorsports entered the year as the team to beat.

In two races so far this season, Hendrick drivers have yet to challenge for the win.

But Sunday’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway could be where the team breaks through. Jeff Gordon starts fourth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. starts eighth and Casey Mears is 11th.

Jimmie Johnson, the three-time defending race winner, was a disappointing 35th in qualifying.
