UPDATE: Mark did end up purchasing JR51 from Landon to put in his Batesville Museum which you can see in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jompeqqhoL-Xa7c Something you may see on tv for 45 seconds before the race may have a huge awesome story behind it like this. We’re super grateful for NBC and NASCAR for allowing us to use the on track footage. Just an awesome day. If you haven’t seen the other videos we’ve done with Mark you should check them out!

I watched Mark run and win the Red Bud at Anderson speedway, I remember a second car like the one he was driving parked behind the grand stands near turn one. It was the white and orange number 2 Camaro but it had holes cut out of the bumper unlike the one he was racing that night. He also drove for my uncle Bill and that Camaro was painted blue and had G.W. PIERCE on the quarter panels. Sadly though Bill, Buckie, and Arthela have passed away. Mark was and is my favorite driver from nascar, I met him only once at the dealership in Batesville. Super kind person especially to the children. Thanks for the video Stapleton42.

Mark Martin was always my favorite driver. I was sad to see him retire.

😳😳😳😳Dang I miss the 90s and Mark being out there along spotty all those drivers from that time. The modern era just can't hold a candle now compared to this car and design. Great videos series yet again!!!!
