Surprising Mark Martin With Lost Trophy! Inside 1980s Wisconsin Race Shop Shared With Alan Kulwicki

[@Stapleton42]

Documenting history digitally is one thing but to go out and actually come back with a legitimate trophy for Mark when he lost almost all of them is absolutely amazing. Especially since Mark was instrumental to us starting out. I can’t explain how gratifying it is when things like that comes full circle. If you’re reading this I’m glad you’re here for the journey.

[@psinclairjr]

Great video, Mark has always been "My Driver". Have You and Logan ever thought about contacting the Petty Brothers to do something with them? They do a "historical" styled podcast. You and Logan are so true to Stock Car racing, very unassuming, very good interviewers, and have that "racer" mentality, id love to see what y'all could do in a video

[@Stapleton42]

We did a video with the Petty Brothers at their shop! February 2023. Search Maurice Petty’s engine shop! They’re super cool guys

[@psinclairjr]

@@Stapleton42 holy crap I missed it!!! I'll go find it now, love y'all's videos

[@Aubrey_2_Hotty]

Love it yall, this journey keeps going and going. Biggest regret is the Bud Moore shop for me (we're right by Spartanburg), shame about that one!

[@mitchellholroyd2837]

Coming across those old trophies is good karma.

[@MarkMartinArchive]

OUTSTANDING work, Mitchell! This is gold. Thank you for the 1985 ASA trophy. That trophy means more to dad than most of his NASCAR trophies.

[@Stapleton42]

You’re the man Matt 💪🏻 This was easily the coolest non planned shop visit we ever had. I’m grateful to even be in the position to do things like this.

[@dannyradke9049]

Not sure if you guys ever figured out what the Valvoline ASA car was that Mark couldn't remember, but if not, from the best of my research, he ran that car in the 1993 Mello Yello 300K ASA race at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas. From the picture you showed at 49:59, Scott Hansen is behind him and Johnny Benson is next to Scott and Mike Eddy is behind Johnny and they started 3rd, 4th & 6th in that race and Mark qualified on the pole. He led 24 laps but dropped out on lap 26 with engine issues. I will now be making a replica diecast of this car for my collection to go along with the 1994 version of that race that he ran that I have.

Outstanding video Mitchell. It was nice meeting everyone at the old shop. I knew when I pulled the trophies out of the dumpster, that someday, somebody would be looking for them? And now they are in the right place. I’m very pleased that Mark Martin is happy with it. It seemed to bring him a lot of joy and memories. Glad to be a part of it. Keep in touch, Rob.👍🏼

All for it to be taken from him so quickly after he made it and have no surviving family to carry the legacy. All gone. I don’t think the story of Alan is talked about enough.

I'd like to he held the steering wheel. He had a certain way that hold the steering wheel because he wasn't strong enough we're big enough like the other guys. And he would hold the wheel in a weird way but it worked. He was my second favorite, of course Dale Earnhardt was my absolute favorite favorite I cried when he died. So did my mother and father. First time I saw my father cry. That's how much we loved him. I used to go to my parents house every Sunday, to watch the race. And I had a family five kids. But I would be there on Sunday.
