This brings joy to my heart. He was my favorite driver when I was little but I only ever remember him winning once when I was watching. I’m happy to know he won more than I thought 😊
I started watching nascar in 1997 and became a Martin fan pretty quick. Then in 98 he had probably his best year ever, his back luck was that Gordon was just out of this world that season.
I always wondered why nascar has set field of 43 in sprint, is it because of the king, or is it that they used to run 40 and dale earnhardts legacy made it 3 more, or some other reason that is totally un related
Even when Sr. was alive the field was more than 40 cars. Some tracks it was limited to under 40 due to smaller pit roads. In the early 2000s 43 became the standard. Good observation on 43 being the King's number. It would be interesting if that were the reason.
2009. A 5 win season. Incredible.
Mark Martin is my all time favorite and I think he should have won a championship
the best ever in my book, a real class act ! thank you Mark it was a honor being your fan
He was great. He deserved at least a cup
What a storybook ending that would've been if he'd won the championship in '09.
he may not have won a championship but he he is one of the best that ever drove
I agree
The Hanes 500 and Mello Yello 500s of 1992 are up now so you could update this thing.

mark martin. the best
My favorite driver when I was growing up. His Valvoline car was one of my favorite schemes.

If Mark drove the 55 full time he would've won New Hampshire 2013 as well
Proud to be from the same state!!!!
Regarding Watkins Glen,
Mark Martin Spun out on the final lap in 1992; so he could have won 4 in a row at the Glen!
Go #6 mark Martin #40 NASCAR cups series wins
NASCAR screwed Mark Martin out of a championship
And he just had super bad luck and timing all the time. He was probably the fastest driver ever. He proved that on IROC

tyler durham I think it used to be 42 cars and they added a 43rd spot for a past champion not already in the race
It's been 40 now for a few years I think
Can you mke a video with all of his 2nd place finishes?
LOL, Championship. MM will drive circles around the recent "winners".
49 +40+13+7=
