Ricky CarmichaelSupercross legend Ricky Carmichael will begin to steer toward a stock car racing career.

Next Saturday night, the 27-year-old rider will make his first start as a stock car professional at North Florida Speedway in Lake City. Mark Martin plans to skip the NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway to act as Carmichael’s crew chief.

The link between Martin and Carmichael is Bobby Ginn, who calls Palm Coast home. Carmichael was signed by Ginn to a driver development deal. Martin left Roush Fenway Racing to drive a Chevrolet for Ginn in Cup this season.
