    Marks my fav driver , but I hope a Roush car wins the race. Pretty sad to see Mark in a Hendrick car.

    Mark is doing so much better in a chevy. I was really pulling for him to race the whole season, but I am glad hes out on the track for fun and doing what he loves to do. Still wish he would have won the Daytona 500, but everything happens for a reason.

    Its funny, they say hind sight is 20/20… Think Roush was actually holding Mark back all these years?

    martin has been doing soo well this year, if he hadnt missed those races i believe he would still be leading point, and if not leading, contending for the lead. And HMS has the top chevy team, so personally, i dont blame man.

    does this mean he is going to sign a contract with Hendricks??

    No Beth. Mark is driving for several different teams this year. Ginn in Cup , Roush and Hendrick in Busch and Wood Bros. in the truck series. He’s just having fun and driving whats offered and having an enjoyable few final years of racing. Jr. has said thats what he would like to do in the last years of his racing career , run some cup , busch , trucks and even late models just for the fun of racing and not for a cup or a title. I think thats a cool way to end your career actually.
