Mark Martin likes racing Atlanta Motor Speedway so much he has decided that 500 miles of high-speed action simply isn’t enough. Martin has decided to enter the EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event on Saturday, Oct. 27 in addition to the Pep Boys Auto 500 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event the next day.
Martin will run his sixth and final Craftsman Truck race of the season this weekend in the No. 21 Wood Brothers’ truck. He has three top-five finishes in five starts, with a best finish of third this season. This will be Martin’s third start in the truck in Atlanta, with his best finish of second coming in the spring truck event last year.
“Atlanta is a great racetrack,” Martin said. “It’s a big, fast racetrack where you can run all over the place. The pavement has aged well over the years and it has given up and made it a really fun place to race. From top-to-bottom, it’s one of the best places that we go, and it makes for a great show and a great race.”
