CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Juan Pablo Montoya is still smarting from Mark Martin's late-race strategy that prevented Montoya from winning at New Hampshire.

Martin led all three laps of a final sprint to the finish, and slowed his car in front of Montoya's to block a potential race-winning pass with two laps to go. Montoya was upset with the strategy after the race, and did not appear over it Tuesday.

He says he's not spoken to Martin, who went on to win his Sprint Cup Series-best fifth race of the season. Martin is also the points leader.

Montoya finished third, but moved up seven spots to fourth in the championship standings.
