My Friend Mark Martin Opens Up Like Never Before

[@chadjones4956]

That 6 car will always hold a special place in my heart,a true gentleman driver he was. Should of been a champion many times.

[@amaris058755ify]

Mark Martin is my favorite nascar driver of all time.

[@TallapoosaHellraiser.]

Hell, he was still my favorite driver even when he drove the Chevrolet & Toyota

[@toddbrown3606]

I didn't care what he was driving, my favorite driver for almost 20 years.

[@crazyracinjason]

And here I am 30 years later appreciating what he has to say more than ever.

[@GeekyFast]

It's hard to argue with *6* IROC championships. The Intimidator is the only other driver with that stat!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆‼‼‼

I've been a Mark Martin fan my whole life. Mad respect for this man , and you as well Kenny!

[@stevebrey8025]

Absolutely love Mark Martin, one of the cleanest and fairest drivers on the track His car was always spotless without a dent or a wheel Mark, because he drove with passion never seen this man move anyone out of his way.

[@Saltydoggdetroit]

I've been watching and following you since 79 I'm 56 now and have always been a fan thanks for the memories

[@jarofpeanutbutter6813]

Love Mark Martin glad he's doing well

[@vg452]

Wait a sec: The text in episode 1 with Tony Stewart was orange & white like Home Depot. The text here is blue & white like Valvoline or Viagra. Herm is matching colors to these drivers’ sponsors on purpose! Nice touch.

[@JJA1987]

Kenny saying Go F Yourself & Mark laughing TOO PRICELESS 😂

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

Love the fact that Mark is coming up more and more on different shows.

[@godisgood1359]

Got to see Mark win at my home track at Bristol, Night Race in 1998. Awesome race it was. It was a week or so after his father passed away. So glad that he won that night!

[@mcgilvreyfineportraits3905]

Mark is a legend! Always raced clean never saw him dump anyone in NASCAR.

[@alanquintus2069]

Agreed. I'm not a Ford fan but I always had lots of respect for MM. The man's got loads of testicular fortitude

[@garywood60]

But I do remember one time many years ago and it was funny. Mark come over the radio and said. What you think Ford will say if I help a Chevrolet win this race. Evidently they were all up front and one of the other Ford drivers had pissed him off and the only other one was a Chevrolet. 😂

[@beberle9641]

Thanks so much Kenny for talking with one of the best racer's and men of our time. This is priceless and awesome 🏁✌️😎

[@toddbob55]

Mark Martin is one of my Favorite Nascar Drivers

[@robcue4543]

What an Honest Interview by Mark Martin! Kenny Wallace & Mark Martin 2 of the Finest Americans! 🗽🗽

[@Rocklyn1]

Binge watching Kenny conversations.....I was a huge Rusty fan....but always glad when Mark won....I was at Talladega when he won caution free race!

[@rodneyharouff5739]

mark's one cool dude. always has been. these interviews are cool too! thanks!

[@just_observing1]

I pulled for Mark when I seen him race first Bush race. Quit watching racing when he retired. Will watch outlaws and all dirt racin. Liked you too Kenny. Thanks for the racing memories

[@berniej.rucker4252]

Mr. Humble...as I always called him. Mark Martin...always the gentleman racer who would give you the position without a fuss or fight regardless if it were the first lap or the last lap. As he put it, "If you caught me and was on my back bumper than you definitely had a quicker car." The SAME driver Joey Blo PURPOSELY wrecked to win a rain-shortened event, then wonders why people hate him so much to this day. The very SAME driver who answered honestly in a mid-race interview after wrecking out. Being asked, What happened?" Mark looked right into the camera and said, "Ran out of talent." I believe it was the race where his car veered off the track under YELLOW for no apparent reason. The same man who acted more like a child winning his FIRST NASCAR race out in Phoenix after beating the field in BOTH practice sessions; putting the #5 car on the pole and then SOUNDLY WHIPPING the WHOLE FIELD that night with Alan Gustafson as his crew chief!!! Yes...Mr.Humble who was a BETTER gentleman racer than "Gentleman" Ned ever THOUGHT of being!!!

[@randygoss1763]

Mark was a favorite of mine.he set a bar high for others

[@CQBlindHams]

Great job again Herm. I think you may have found your calling Kenny. What I mean is only a racecar driver can do a interview with the greats like you do. Keep up this series please.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Mark is a champion even if he never won a cup....

[@JJA1987]

Mr Consistency nuff said

[@txracer1636]

Mark is one of the best, on and off the track! Will always be one of my favorites. So cool to hear him mention Wayne Brooks. Had the pleasure of competing with Wayne in the late 90's in modifieds around Texas and Louisiana. Wayne and a few others were running V6's and whipping everyone's butt.

[@FV-dd5bv]

Another great discussion Kenny! Thank you!!!! Marks a true competitor and racer, beatem fair but make sure you beat’em!

[@terrywillis5784]

The Kenny Wallace Show came up a notch by having Mark Martin on !!! Have him on often.

[@charlespittsjr604]

Mark Martin is my favorite racer . As a kid I liked Bobby Allison and then Davy but had been a fan of Mark and after Davy I jumped on the Mark Martin race team .

[@TrentDowns-j9f]

Can not wait. Mark's interview on "Dinner with Racers" was epic. I'm sure this will rival it. Thanks Kenny!

[@brianbrogan2838]

Hey Trent where can I find Mark on Dinner with racers? I couldn't seem to find it.

[@TrentDowns-j9f]

@@brianbrogan2838 It's only in podcast form. It was back in 2020 I believe. It's a 2 part interview,

[@brianbrogan2838]

@@TrentDowns-j9f thanks brother!

[@2Truth4Liberty]

Mark kept saying Long story, short. But I LIKE the Long stories :-0) Two great guys talking ... the good parts of Life. Thanks Kenny! Thanks Mark.

[@rbowe6]

I have two favorite NASCAR drivers ever (okay three, you too Kenny, oh five, your Brothers too). Mark Martin and Lake Speed. What humble guys. Love their insights. Having watched this I like the guy even more.

[@psinclairjr]

We need more Mark Martin in racing. Hard work, talent for miles, CLASS AND RESPECT

[@jimmymay2992]

THANK YOU Mark for mentioning Larry Phillips multiple times during this podcast. I watched him race at I-70 Speedway. He was amazing ~ as are you! (Dick Trickle too).

[@redfox5911]

Great job Herman! Mark is a true racer/car builder/mechanic/do everything racer. He said THE TRUTH about dirt late model racing!

[@markmcmullen1371]

Herman you hit another home run on this one.👍

[@unbrokenamerican9921]

another great conversation with one of my all time favorites. the ford boys back in the day were tough to beat.

[@arlinefasnacht8667]

I first saw Mark driving the Folgers car and I never followed another driver until he retired. Then it took me a few years to start following Kyle Larson. Kyle reminds me of Mark.

[@chrisbryant4954]

Kenny, Mark, Rusty, Larry, Ken Essary, Trickle, the story of my youth. Great memories. Any chance to get Billy Moyer, Bloomer, Schrader, Terry Gene on in the future? Nick Hoffman, Rumley. Love this channel! Great job Herm!

[@ronvonbon]

Yeb, we were lucky erent we.

[@marknadeau1112]

I think he has had Schrader on already but I could be wrong, I swear I remember him talking to him from Schraders shop

[@kimwonders4225]

Another fun interview, love listening to these guys and good ole memories and learning little things about them we wouldn't know otherwise, thanks again Kenny, loved this one with Mark as well, keep em coming!

[@landonthompson5604]

I would almost would give my last leg to be able to watch Mark Martin, Rusty, Larry Phillips and many other racing drivers at The Ozark Empire Fairgrounds plus other venues as well.

[@corvairkid63]

Humility and talent. Mark Martin.

[@christineramsey4781]

What a great analogy about one step at a time that's exactly how people should live life and appreciate everyday..What a Conversation God Bless yall!!!!!

[@ron1584]

Sure miss the old days of racing were everyone had fun, I shut it down in 2001 when the bickering got to the point it wasn't fun anymore. Mark was one of my most favorite drivers, he didn't need to take a person out to win a race. Im not sure if Mark still goes up to Idaho during the summer but I'm hoping to meet up with him at the RV park someday. Thank you to all the old time racers that made the sport enjoyable to watch.

[@jerrywagner4690]

So much respect for the Legend that is Mark Martin.

[@truegret7778]

It's great seeing Mark Martin again ..... he is definitely one of the GOATs. I really miss the era you guys were talking about - respect on/off the track was through the roof. Those races were so cool to watch. I love these conversations - unfiltered, legit, and honest.

[@htalbott1899]

Herman you and Mark two of the best I have been a nascar fan since the late 50s but the era of mark Martin was the best years That is only my opinion but the drivers that raced then were my heroes, Kenny this is your best work Thank you buddy

[@gregsimon9061]

Mark Martin, truly the best.

[@rustyt4273]

Mark Martin is an OG influencer. Not like the superficial consumer-oriented social media influencers of today; rather he's someone that demonstrates what hard work, determination, and respect can earn you. I had a poster of Mark in my son's room (titled Determination) from birth through when he left for college. He's not a big race fan, but has learned to appreciate hard work and the importance of earning your way. Thanks Mark for all you continue to give us, and to Kenny for a great conversation with one of the best people in our sport! It was great to hear y'all are all right and hearing your perspectives on occasion help keep us on an even keel. Way to go, Herm!

[@les67b38]

I always love watching both of you racing at Springfield fair grounds. There's time I wish I stayed with it. I had John Kindig mini stock. I understand getting old. My Birthday is May 23 in a couple of weeks. I'm will be 69 years old.

Great conversation Kenny. The 1st time I saw or heard of Mark Martin was 1984 @ Jeffco an ASA race . I was told watch that kid Martin he is good. Well Rusty was on the pole Balaough was outside pole Rusty led all race Gary ended up bumping Rusty got by and won. I always remember that race I was helping tech the cars before qualifying.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

I've had conversations with Mark Martin several times when I worked for NASCAR 1996-2006. as part of the security/safety teams at Daytona, Darlington, and Talladega NASCAR tracks. I always enjoyed every minute. I even took a close friend to one of his auto dealerships for her to buy a new car. Also a nice experience.

Thanks for this and apprecaite his perspective, and he would know for sure.. he came along when Nascar was coming up in TV and the mainstream. Great job and questions as well from KW...he and Dale Jr really understand how to let the guests talk and give their opinions and persepctives.

[@jjmckay6man1]

Awesome interview Kenny! Mark has such a great memory and is such an Awesome guy!

[@mikeoneal3550]

This was amazing . Life long Nascar fan. The 1997 Race was my first live race. I was standing in the old back stretch(no security was there) I could lean on the fence and see Mark in side the car ever time he came by. (It was a great race) Mark is a amazing man. Thank You Kenny for this. Keep up the interviews!!!

[@11339100]

Tony Stewart interview was good but,Mark Martin interview is over the top! Mark is a real racer,he remembers all of his past set ups.He remembers the stagger,spring rate,sway bar rate that he was running in the old days.its sad that Mark never won a Nascar championship,because he was defenitely one of the greatest. Keep on the good work Kenny!

[@mikep1085]

Hey Wallace! Great interview! Mark is such a great guy... so down to Earth.

Mark you're such a good race car driver and you should have won at least three championships of not more but just to see how much people like you you watch these Darlington paint schemes at least two or three would be Mark Martin paint schemes

[@remingtonsypro3160]

I'm a huge Mark Martin got a lot of cars, shirts, and a few coats. Mark was my cup driver Kenny loved watching your bush racing days. I remember you at the rock and the red dog beer car. Listening to you on the scanner talking about how loose the car was five laps later you were in the wall. You had a lot of great races Kenny!! Rockingham was one of my favorite tracks It's a shame it doesn't come back. So glad to see these videos brings back so many memories. I got into the pits at Rockingham with the press pit pass and got to walk Mark Martin to pit road what a treat. It was a race where it washed out on Sunday got pushed over to Monday. Mark won the bush race and the Winn-Dixie car that weekend got one of those too. I was at Rockingham for the Ward Burton Dale Earnhardt lug nut incident race. Great races!! Thx for all the memories!! ✌️ Keep them coming..💜

[@john28980]

Mark has always been my driver to watch. Glad to see he is enjoying retirement, well deserved. He is awesome. Thanks Kenny for doing these conversations, always enjoy what you do for the sport.

[@edwardgensheimer6640]

Mark Martin was my favorite driver from back to the Folgers car battling dale for championships. So when he was retiring I was bummed then he hooked up with Hendrick and one five races and another second in champion race. I got to see him win a race in Talladega. I had a buddy that went to the race and it got rained out. Well the poeple he was partying with at the track one of the guys was not going to be able to come back for the rainout. So he gives my buddy his ticket and I think it was the Monday got rained out to so the next weekend my buddy, his girl and I went and he didn't charge me for the ticket. Sitting down around turn fouri think it was the fastest race ever at Talladega and Martin won. I don't watch races as much as back then but awesome here about Martin again. I was huge Martin fan.
