For Eric did you ever think you would be this involved in Nascar. And what does it feel like to be this involved in the world of Nascar.

Saw mark win Chicagoland 09 and that was definitely one of my favorite races I’ve been to. As a huge Gordon fan, that was my first time seeing a HMS car win in person.

As a mark fan, it was amazing seeing my driver win. Wish chicagoland speedway would come back. I also would like to see the next gen cars on the indy oval.

Mark talking about racing etiquette is the best take I’ve heard on it. Ill get so frustrated on IRacing from other drivers and Mark got it perfect when he said the right move isn’t your own to make anymore.

My favorite driver of all time. As a smaller guy, Mark is a major role model to me. Height doesn’t equal heart. His class and humility is second to none.

Mark Martin is the best Nascar Cup Series driver to never win a championship it in my personal opinion he was better than a lot of the Champions that ended up being he’s one of the best to ever do it

I came into NASCAR in 2009…Mark Martins “swansong” season. Well, dammit, I was a fan. Hendrick hired him out of retirement, and he came on strong in that five car. He’s my age and he came in to the 5 car, and won a bunch of races that year! Life sized images were up in my local commissary for his sponsor at the time. He was basically superman…Jimmie said so. Jimmie had the utmost respect for him. And Martin came in second for the championship….again. He really deserved to win a championship, but I’ve never seen him show any bitterness at all. He always comes across as a very likeable guy that I would love to sit down and have a beer with.
