[@billhill1384]

Mark, I just visited your place a few weeks back and it brought back so many memories of racing in the late 80's and 90's. I was traveling to my daughters home in Springfield and I made the detour through Batesville. I loved everything I saw there, what a great career and showcase. What is the story of the Foremost logo on your old car? My dad worked for Foremost for many years and it put a smile on my face seeing it. Great content in this video.

[@cbanks5678]

1993 Valvoline Car was the first model i ever put together as a child. Im 32 years old and still have it. Thanks for the awesome childhood memories of going to races with my dad

[@misterracer6201]

Listening to Mark tell these stories from his perspective is priceless, the soul of the story is always lost in documentaries and mainstream media. Awesome that he cares enough to preserve that history. Thanks to you both!

[@philmattox7253]

I'll tell you a story that represents the kind of man Mark Martin is. There was a young man from my hometown that went to North Carolina right out of high school and went to work for Hendrick Motorsports. He was one of Mark Martin's tire changers when he drove there. When he go married they put out the gift list at local stores like most people do when getting married. Mark Martin went to the store and bought every single thing on their list and gave it them as a wedding gift.

[@J.C...]

A buddy of mine went and worked at Hendrick after auto tech school and putting in 4 or 5 years at the Ford dealership. He always said he was gonna go work at a NASCAR shop and he did. Pretty sure he's still there. He started in the engine teardown room and last I heard, he was learning to assemble them. It surprised the he** out of me when he got hired there because he wasn't an A student or anything. Middle of the class, I'd say, while I was #1 because I had 10+ years experience on everyone in my class. I was 30 and they were all 18 lol. I got hired at the Chevy dealership before leaving school making 3x what everyone else made. They all started at $8/hr changing oil. I started as a technician making $25/hr. I guess Ben had the last laugh though. He works for a NASCAR team while I don't lol I couldn't do it today anyway. I doubt I'll ever leave this city now. My daughter & only child is buried here and I won't leave. Ever. I can't be that far away from... Edit: I remembered his name so I looked his his name plus NASCAR. Turns out I was wrong. He went to work for ROUSH-YATES! WHAT!? Pretty sure he's still there according to his LinkedIn.

[@J.C...]

Looks like I was mistaken. He went to work for ROUSH-YATES. I knew that but it slipped my mind when I wrote this originally. That's why he started in the engine teardown room. They build engines. I'm sure that he's moved on to building them by now. It's been 10 years at least and he's still there as of August 11, 2023. WAY TO GO, BEN! 🙏👍

I have a great Mark Martin story as a kid. I grew up racing quarter midgets in the QMRA all around central florida in the early 2000's. We had a race at the now gone, Apopka track an I was moving up from Sr. novice to Sr. honda. Mark was there with his son Matt an they were in the staging lane right in front of us. I was incredibly nervous as the Sr. honda class was pretty intense (I was 11 or so years old lol). I guess my dad asked Mark to come say something to me to calm my nerves because the next thing I knew, Mark Martin was down on his knee next to me and said "Are you nervous?" I nodded my head Yes. "Does it feel like a bunch of butterfly's in you stomach?" I nodded my head some more and said "yes sir". He then said "I have had that same feeling for 25 years and I love it! You're going to do great!" I never forgot that moment and it has helped me continue venture down some other paths of motorsports through out the years. I'm 32 years old now, have a 1 year old daughter and I hope I can pass this story on to her when or if she takes up racing like I did.

[@CentralFloridaHipHop]

Was that the Horsemans Park track in Apopka? I lived in the trailer park behind that track and me and my friends would crawl through a hole in the fence to watch the quarter midgets race. I got Mark Martin's autograph and would watch his son race. Probably watched you race too. Good times Lol

Jimmy Johnson led most of the race which he did every year there back then, He over shot the pit and Martin got out front off pit road. When he crossed the finish line, Me and my wife both got goosebumps. We were staying at Winners Circle Campground at the bottom of the hill. Go Mark! Forever fans here!

[@devinaschenbrenner2683]

When my dad first introduced me to NASCAR I was wide eyed and in awe. I saw this White, blue and red car going around the track. This would be 1997 I was about 5ish, that car scheme had me hooked instantly. It just looked like it was flying past everything. Asked my dad who that was and was fan ever since. As I grew older I came to appreciate the actual driver behind that wheel. It was a sad day for me when he changed teams and no longer drove the number 6, but I followed him until he retired.

[@skipper9400]

This is fantastic! Mark Martin has been a major inspiration to me. I was a partner in a NASCAR Sportsman Series team in the mid-nighties (#6 with David R. Smith driving). We were at our first practice ever at Charlotte with our new car. We had never been on asphalt, or on a track over 1/2 mile. We were also there to get NASCAR approval to race in the upcoming race at Charlotte. On the morning of the practice day, Mark drove up out of the blue, and stopped, spent a great deal of time with us, and gave us advice on how to run Charlotte. He is one of the best and real people in the NASCAR history books.

Mark made EVERYONE better around him. He definitely challenged Earnhardt to be slightly better in the Winston Cup Series, that much is true.

[@KEIFabrication]

That was fantastic! I have so many great memories of Mark during that time period. I was watching the race when he punched the guard rail. My favorite story of Mark's return with the Hendrick #5 is because he was 50 years old, and all the young kids driving the Car of Tomorrow were wining & complaining and Mark made the thing fly. I think there is a clip of and interview where they preface the question to Mark about what he thought of the COT with a statement saying all the younger drivers thought the COT was awful, and Mark's response was something like, "This is a car you really have to drive, and I like that!" "I guess those young guys can only drive a perfect car". It went something to that affect, and it was the perfect response because the sport really was heading in the direction ( a downward spiral in my opinion) where the engineers were giving the younger generation of drivers a near perfect car. Thanks again for this once in a lifetime opportunity, and I can't wait for the next video!

Mark is being way too humble. Awesome person, awesome driver, and an awesome businessman. Despite his small size, he's overloaded with integrity.

[@danielroberson5421]

Mark Martin is such a humble man you can't help not to love the guy!

[@markmartin3884]

Greatest racer in my opinion! Miss watching him race. True class act!

[@andypage9]

Mark, it was an absolute honor to work for you at Ginn Racing and DEI.

[@Ribbityibzki]

Man, I worked in the Kia store right next to there until March this year. So cool to see this place on KZbin. Lived in Batesville for 14 years until I moved to Wyoming this year.

[@HammerPowered]

This is absolutely killer, and to be able to walk around this with the man himself is just awesome.

[@bigcase4449]

I had a Mark Martin windbreaker as a kid in the 90's, I wore it until the stitches were gone. Mark is the man.

[@g3arjammer837]

Mark Martin was always a solid and very kind guy. Never had anything bad to say about him.

[@Stapleton42]

Coolest dude ever

[@g3arjammer837]

@@Stapleton42 absolutely. Loving the historical stuff going on with this channel. I’m a huge history nerd and am currently in college to become a Automotive Technician. Learning all I can about cars and motorsports combines the two into one thing. It’s very satisfying for me to watch.

I always pulled for Mark Martin, hated he never won a championship, heck of a driver, 1st class guy, would love to see this in person,, great video, thanks for sharing

[@Pensfan5919]

Mark Martin has slowly become one of my favorite racers of all time. My childhood was during his Hendrick and MWR days, as his career was coming to a close. Now, I have a whole new respect for Martin than just the old gunslinger I saw in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Best driver to never win a Cup, bar none. Sadly, the personable driver curse also bit his successor in the face of Roush role, Carl Edwards.

What an honest genuine interview from a legend. And great job interviewing Mark by letting him talk. When you coming back to Riverside Speedway in Antigonish NS Mark?

[@billtruett8593]

Of all your KZbin videos “Dude” this is one of my all time Hero !!!! This is a Racers Racer maga respect for mark. Guy had no fear in a car. Thank you for the video…#6 hall fame

[@kevingilliland6484]

Mark has always been a driver to watch even if you were a fan of another driver. Outstanding man and race car driver sure hope to still meet him someday...

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

Diehard nascar fan since the early 90s, never really appreciated Mark until he left Roush for whatever reason and I regret not having become a diehard Martin fan prior. His results in the Army car turned the page for me, seemed like such a genuine dude. The fact he was aware of you & your channel is awesome. That had to be a damn good feeling.

[@Stapleton42]

It is pretty surreal if I think about it from the perspective of my 8 year old self

[@rwright3395]

No worries Mr. Mark You will not be forgotten at all . God bless you Sir !

[@cliveleslie7004]

Mark martin much appreciation for you as a racer and as a person I enjoy listening and watching the program about you thank you for all that you did for the sport.

[@djvycious]

You know it's a great video when Mark himself watches and comments on it!

[@TheQcskater88]
