Before Mark Martin made his rise to NASCAR he raced in the ASA series for Jerry Gunderman's All Star Racing team in Franklin Wisconsin. Originally founded in 1983 for Bobby Allison's part time ASA schedule with Jimmy and Jeffrey Fennig doing the cars, Alan Kulwicki ran some races for the team when Bobby wasn't racing. They went full time in 1985 with Mark in the Miller Brewing sponsored car. In 1985 Mark's team was on one side of the shop and Alan Kulwicki had the other. Only a thin wall separated the Martin/Fennig brothers team from Alan's independent operation and there was some competitive tension between the two future hall of fame racers. The current owner of the building, Rob Christiansen, saved a handful of busted up trophies from the dumpster when he bought the building from Jerry Gunderman many years ago. He saved them not knowing what they were... until today! One of them was won by Mark in 1985 and he only had one ASA trophy in his own collection survive over the years. We brought the pieces with us to IROC at Lime Rock to surprise Mark with the discovery! Huge thanks to Rob and his son's Milweb1 Vinyl Shop for allowing us to film and keeping those trophies safe for many years!
