“I’m excited to be running back in the Nationwide and Truck Series again,” said Martin in a press release. “Everyone at Dollar General and Turner Motorsports has been great and I’m looking forward to hitting the track with them next year. Working with Turner [Motorsports], I get to extend my relationship with Chevrolet and continue to have Hendrick horsepower under the hood which is really, really good.”
Martin has an astounding seven wins in 23 races in the NASCAR Truck Series, and leads the Nationwide (nee Busch) Series with 48 victories. Martin, who turned 52 on Sunday, joked about the need to run Nationwide Series races to keep his Series lead over Kyle Busch, who has 43 career wins in the Series.
“The races we picked for both series are personal favorites of mine. I’d love to win another truck race, and I’ve got to get back to Victory Lane in the Dollar General car so I can keep Kyle [Busch] from breaking my Nationwide Series record,” Martin joked.
All joking aside, this is great news for Mark Martin fans across the nation, as they will get to see their favorite driver—a driver that the media named the Nationwide Series’ best driver of all-time in 2006—drive more than just his No. 5 Sprint Cup entry for Hendrick Motorsports.
Mark Martin, a fan of rap and hip-hop, probably has heard the song, “All I Do Is Win,” by DJ Khaled, and it could be his theme song in the Truck and Nationwide Series. After all, it seems that Martin finds himself up front in these races all the time. And he wins quite often.
I, for one, am more than excited that I will get to see Mark Martin race twice in Kentucky in July. Now, all he has to do is win twice in Kentucky to make this fan’s dreams come true.
Can he do it? I’d have a hard time betting against him.
