RAW FOOTAGE: Mark Martin Drives His Favorite Car! Legendary Roush Chassis "JR51" at Las Vegas

[@streetcarmedia660]

Figured I would also drop in some news that Martin himself has recently bought this car!!! So awesome!

[@mrray55]

Did anyone else notice how effortlessly he rev matched the shifts up and down. This Brings back some great memories for this old man. 🤙

[@hhohn7]

I loved the 2 to 3, and 3 to 4 shift without the clutch. His left knee never moved and he synched it perfectly. And the down shifting! Oh boy. I'd loved to have seen him take it up to speed for 50 laps!

[@georgeschikschneit7142]

It’s like riding a bike you never forget

[@patrickisswayze3446]

That 1-N-1-N coast in the pits was a strait flex.

[@brianbeilmann2992]

That sound is amazing. So mechanical.

[@stapleton42extra]

Pure music

[@johnrobertson-ir2mb]

This Man deserved a Championship more than anyone he was a Great! Driver, legend . And what a nice guy also talked to him for 30 minutes one time a a dealership when he drove the Carolina Fords Thunderbird...

[@stewpuddy4161]

I already commented on the original. So I'm commenting here just to leave a comment. Because I've heard comments help your channel!

[@user-if8nz2yo5n]

I loved this emotional moment in time! My hero reunited with his stead. So glad he got to drop it into 4th! Brings me back to my Rusty Wallace Racing Experience run around Loudon! Close to the greatest experience of my entire 59 yrs!!! Thanks for documenting the GOOD stuff!!

[@stapleton42extra]

thanks man!

[@boss82gt]

It's like a dream come true. I was just a passenger with Mark Martin. Thank you so much!

[@matttownsend3069]

Mark is such a nice guy. Great to see him behind the wheel of the #6 Valvoline car again. Great video guys!

[@jdhaase1417]

Raw, authentic, and pure are a few words to describe. Y’all blessed Mark Martin and we’re able to capture something really special and meaningful and in the process have blessed many others like myself. I love Mark’s good nature. What a treasure to see him relive part of his life. We were blessed to have him in NASCAR and are still blessed by him today.

[@richl.4143]

This video makes me smile…..happy for Mark!

[@psinclairjr]

Love the raw footage too ya'll! I only speak for my wife and I, but I'll watch whatever you have. To me it's like we are there with you

[@brianhowe4875]

Mark Martin…what a Legend!!!

[@buddyschnaars851]

that statment at 3,00 mark, just says it all!!! that car is awsome! ;-)

[@copperpaigne1873]

What a great car and story Mark Martin clearly wasn’t expecting that feeling and it was nice to see that .

[@dannymichael4530]

I swear I could smell the exhaust fumes when he was sitting there with the car idling! Another cool video.

[@RearEngineShop]

Man, that car fits Mark perfectly. He looked at home in there. So cool how the whole thing worked out. 👍

[@treerobo6864]

one of the all time greatest drivers

[@terrythompson1615]

Mark,you are the man!!best driver ever.hated to see you retire😢

[@TheCrewChief374]

You would like one of Mark's friend Wayne Brooks. Mr. Brooks has some really interesting stories to say the least...

[@jamiehess6443]

Dude that sound though, I miss those days

[@stevewilliams8143]

Mark Martin is a very humble and kind man to everyone he knows and meets. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. he knows.!!!

[@jeffbergen4612]

This is so awesome! What an incredible job Landon did on this car.

[@motorcoachtech7615]

Thanks again Mitchell for posting this. Mark’s pride probably swelled 10 fold with this opportunity to drive it again. I’m very disappointed to hear that no one from RFK came over to see him. Rick

[@timkoryciak5622]

What a great video of Mark Martin driving his favorite car on the track !

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Yep I am here ! Also just received my Boom Tube Tee shirt and stickers ! Keep up the good work .

[@stonemanson4884]

Excellent to enjoy Mark reconnect

[@davidlirio1]

He said he'd only sell it to Mark and I have a feeling Mark will be offering to buy it from him in the near future. You could tell Mark was reminiscing about all the happy times he had with that car during that drive.

[@JJA1987]

It belongs in The Museum Mark has if you ask me

[@mitchellhadanek2647]

All i have to say is...Awesome! Thanks Mitchell and Logan!

[@KillerGrubwithMarkBagley]

So amazing to see Mark Martin wheeling a cup car again like he never stopped F'in legend..... BRING BACK THE ISTITTIES SHIRTS PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. My wife and I both want them, Thank you!!

[@stapleton42extra]

Maybe someday lol!

[@MikeG42]

Thanks for the raw footage Stapleton42 , awesome to hear the sound of that Valvoline Ford and fun watching Mark Martin back in the drivers seat. Good video !

[@davidgough1161]

Thank You, Mitchell!

[@stapleton42extra]

Welcome!

[@rickcooper6817]

Liked it the first time, guess what- liked it the second time too!

[@westboundbadger]

Car sounded so perfect,...Really wanted to be opened up i recon !

[@castelnausci7315]

Mark Martin is 63. Old enough to get a senior citizen discount card at Walgreens. But give him a 5 minute notice he would get his butt off a chair,stretch ,do 100 pushups then climb in a race car and drive in a race

[@dennislamers986]

I'm glad to see this a second time. I really liked the interview after this too.

[@markrhoades8822]

Talk about a cruise down memory lane, I bet he loved that

[@alvinselvidge5310]

One of The Best in my Book.....

[@williampeters8776]

Great videos, really enjoy the old school racers and history , Y’all keep up the great work.

[@jaydizzle8399]

Keep doing what your doing brotha! Love your passion for the heritage of the sport👍

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Doesn’t get any cooler than this!

[@onedayatatime4232]

Thanks for this.

[@ericsherman9849]

Kind of bittersweet, I didn't know till this video that Mark didn't own the JR51 car.

[@jjmckay6man1]

there is a newer comment that said Mark did buy this car.

[@Mechaxthemaskedgamer]

​@@jjmckay6man1Yes he did Stapleton replied on my comment mark owns it now

[@dawsonburrell9754]

[@MikeSkateTV]

[@gregpace5982]

[@mikegalford2561]

The nut cooler🤣😂🤣 I'm fuckin dead what other names can we make it And tbh if Mark said he didn't run it than how could you please ask him

[@seanmorissette5765]

So cool

[@ericdanielson1138]

You need to get ahold of Steve Hmiel and or do a Crew Chief's series.

[@jeffjohnston3504]

If anyone hasn't bought one of their shirts then Nike, just do it. I'm a repeat customer because they are great shirts. I have the Monte Carlo one on now. Stickers are nice too.

[@stapleton42extra]

Thanks man 💪🏻

[@brushitoff503]

Awesome cheers man

[@esvs9395]

I seen something recently that says comments create the algorithm. Need more comments! Anyway, y'all do good so just push the comments for a trending video

[@georgemartin7717]

Stapleton , YOU'VE surprised me once again 😅! You NEVER DISAPPOINT 👍! HOW did you manage to get the car's current OWNER and FORMER ( fantastic ) DRIVER hooked up together! It was FUNNY AS HELL, to see the CURRENT OWNER, TELL MARK MARTIN ( LAST DRIVER OF THIS CAR, FROM Years ago ) HOW TO START HIS OWN FUCKING CAR😂😂💪👍!!! .. with me, as the FORMER DRIVER ,it would be like " FUCK OFF BUDDY, I'M RIPPING off SOME VERY HOT LAPS... Get the pit crew ready for 4 tires and a tank of gas because I'M FUCKING GONE!!!!!" P.S. It would have been the current ultimate score IF, you all could get Mark in a drivers suit with no helmet and have him do laps that HE FELT COMFORTABLE with! ...By being the ONLY CAR on the track! SAFTY FIRST THOUGH 👍! But it still WOULD BE COOL!!... Kind of like OLD SCHOOL '60's racing. Mark was THE MOST " Gentleman snd RESPECTED Driver OF THIS ERA! "... " He never played Dirty ! STAPLETON, IF you want to be immortalized..,then Do a few segments on Dale Earnhardt Senior and his cars and, VERY IMPORTANTLY , HIS pit crew and OWNER...RCR😘! Can you PLEASE CHECK INTO that!! YOU'LL ALWAYS WIN WITH EARNHARDT Sr. being the focus !!!! After Dale Sr. DIED, so DID NASCAR!.....WHAT A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAGEDY for EVERYBODY!!!!! Thanks again, Stapleton for the FANTASTIC video!! You keep'em rolling, and well keep them being watched😅😅😅!!

[@stapleton42extra]

Thank you George but I had nothing to do with setting this up! We just recorded what would have otherwise been unseen by most

[@Storyracing387]

Like hanging out with an old friend 👍 Watched a video earlier from a year ago, guy was wearing a SAW shirt in a rc drag racing vid. 🤘

[@waltercobb4675]

Do you always do a great videos I even posted to like six of my friends today and like I always do when you come up the big huge NASCAR fans I'm more of an NHRA type guy but I also like NASCAR I was a big huge Intimidator fan and I got to watch when he actually died then I quit watching it

[@xtr3m3fLx]

TIL, my favourite all time Nascar driver wears the same frames as I do. Nike.

[@jasonstacy5587]

I hope he didn't forget to flip the dome light on.

[@stapleton42extra]

😂

[@Wvcountrykid]

Those are the Real Nascar stock cars with the standard H-Pattern

[@stapleton42extra]

I agree

[@Mechaxthemaskedgamer]

Updates on the car does brandon still own it or does mark own it now?

[@stapleton42extra]

Mark owns it!

[@Mechaxthemaskedgamer]

@@stapleton42extra dude thats awesome knowing he owns his favorite car now!

[@SPMech1]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TeamMP3]

Ugh...31 likes and 3 comments ;( I'll do it one day!

[@adamreynolds1851]

Bro are you even building anything anymore ,

[@stapleton42extra]

Yep when we have time we work on things and accumulate footage but the builds don't pay the bills so its not a priority.

[@rickiewilliams1965]

I don't care if it looks like a first grader did the editing, I am still begging for you to get Mark and Rusty (maybe even the two Kenny's - Schrader and Wallace) sat down in front of a camera telling every Larry Phillips story they can think of. The man is a continual nominee for the NASCAR HOF and never gets the votes. I am afraid one day no one will remember him.

[@randipoling635]

I bet if they told him to "Go" he would be so god damn giddy to crank that thing one more time.

[@justinleland7461]

Saw the race under this video in my search so thought I'd drop the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYfdfZSeg9l2gKs
