MORE: Hendrick Motorsports will field racing legend Mark Martin this season in three Busch Series events, the team announced in a news conference Wednesday morning at Daytona International Speedway. "Years from now, I'll continue to look back on this with a ton of pride," said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and chairman of Hendrick Automotive Group. "When Mark and I first started talking about it, I knew we had one of those special opportunities that don't come along often. He's one of the all-time greats, and having him drive one of our cars is something we couldn't pass up." The effort will be backed by Hendrick Autoguard, a line of products available exclusively at Hendrick Automotive Group dealerships nationwide. Hendrick Autoguard offers car buyers peace of mind through a variety of options that include maintenance coverage, asset protection, exterior car care, and vehicle security. Martin's schedule will kick off May 11 at Darlington, S.C., where he has posted eight of his 47 career Busch Series victories. The 48-year-old will make additional starts on Aug. 18 at Brooklyn, Mich., and Nov. 17 at the Homestead, Fla., season finale. "This is going to add another great chapter to my career," said Martin, who is working with Hendrick Automotive Group to offer Autoguard products at Mark Martin Ford in his hometown of Batesville, Ark. "I have a great respect for Rick and the entire Hendrick Motorsports organization, so I'm excited about this opportunity to be a part of it. Hopefully we can make some Busch Series history in the Hendrick Autoguard Chevrolet." Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Busch, 21, will join Martin in the Hendrick Autoguard program, piloting a #5 Chevy in the Feb. 24 Busch Series event at Fontana, CA.

I think with Mark's history in the sport, this pairing seems perfect. Might I remind you it's only 3 races he's running, it's not like he's running for the championship here. Mark Martin is as happy as clam, he has a smile on his face when he's usually a more stern figure at the track. For the first time in almost 20 years he's not running for a championship, it's as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He's having fun and I say let him enjoy it, instead of trying to find faults in his retirement from full time competition. |
