My favorite driver of all time. As a smaller guy, Mark is a major role model to me. Height doesn't equal heart. His class and humility is second to none.
Mark talking about racing etiquette is the best take I’ve heard on it. Ill get so frustrated on IRacing from other drivers and Mark got it perfect when he said the right move isn’t your own to make anymore.
Mark was my favorite Nascar driver by far. I was a drag racer for 10 years and, racing a Ford, I had my engine built by Jack Roush. This was in the late 70s and through the 80s. That's when Mark was coming up and, through the Roush connection, I began following him on the Nascar curcuit. I saw him run good at MIS and went to Talledaga and saw him beat Dale Earnhardt in the only caution free race there. He never won a Nascar championship but he was a class act and certainly a champion in my book. Great interview, guys!
Thank you for having Mark on.He was my driver.My dad and I were in Rockingham in '89.Our seats were going in to turn 1.It was a GREAT day.He driving style was intriguing,using his right elbow to help turn the car.
I am 2 years younger than Mark and amazingly fortunate to live in Wisconsin all my life. We got to see Mark, Trickle, Kulwicki, Shear, Senneker, Wallace etc so many times a month. My home track was Slinger Speedway in Slinger Wi. Worlds fastest 1/4 mile high bank asphalt. Every Sunday night we would go and hope to see one of those guys show up. Especially Mark, for some (usually ridiculous) reason he would get sent to the rear. Absolutely the greatest thing was watching Mark come through the field against very fast local guys, like Alan Kulwicki started there etc. Super late model world track record there is held by a local guy 11.095 Tony Strupp. They have a huge race once a year now(was twice) but nascar guys would show up 3, 4 maybe 5 of them. the Allisons, Bonnett, Earnhardt sr, Schrader, Senneker, Trickle, Wallaces, Waltrips etc etc. It was amazing, and after the races like Mark said they/we would all go to a local bar. Bar owner would slide 8-10 cases beer out the back door at closing time. The parking lot was packed. From just over the state line was Rockford speedway up through Wi. a lot of asphalt tracks including the Milwaukee Mile. I was so fortunate to race slot cars with a couple guys and through them I pitted for Joe Ruttman in USAC and Tony Strupp (the world record holder for late models at Slinger) Meeting Rusty Wallace and his brothers in USAC is how i became a huge Rusty fan all my life as my best friends fav was Mark. We bet on everything they raced each other lol. Then to find out that Rusty and Mark were very close friends. Awesome times, and sorry so long, but i could go on n on lol
I came into NASCAR in 2009...Mark Martins "swansong" season. Well, dammit, I was a fan. Hendrick hired him out of retirement, and he came on strong in that five car. He's my age and he came in to the 5 car, and won a bunch of races that year! Life sized images were up in my local commissary for his sponsor at the time. He was basically superman...Jimmie said so. Jimmie had the utmost respect for him. And Martin came in second for the championship....again. He really deserved to win a championship, but I've never seen him show any bitterness at all. He always comes across as a very likeable guy that I would love to sit down and have a beer with.
Epic show! I am so glad you had him on. It was well worth the time to listen to the entire show. I think we all can say our respect for him only increased.
Mark Martin is the best Nascar Cup Series driver to never win a championship it in my personal opinion he was better than a lot of the Champions that ended up being he's one of the best to ever do it
Eric, it goes without saying any more but your show is the place to go for updates, news, changes, controversy, ideas, upcoming events, and everything Nascar. #1. 100% interesting interview here. It's my day off and I escaped for a bit here. Thank you.
Thanks for having Mark Martin on your podcast! I have a huge collection of Mark Martin memorabilia.... Die cast cars, some autographed, autographed hats, trading cards...and lots of other stuff. I have Mark's book, which is fantastic! My wife just shakes her head when I am sitting on my stool, cleaning all my cars, and everything else.
Funny Mark Martin saying Martin Truex Jr. reminds him the most of himself. Anyone else remember those old Xifnity (Busch) series commercial from 2004/05 where an Xfinity driver would talk but then they’d take their face off and they’d reveal themselves to be a Cup driver saying “That’s why I like racing in the NASCAR Busch series”? After talking Truex Jr pulled off his face and revealed himself to be Mark Martin.
Saw mark win Chicagoland 09 and that was definitely one of my favorite races I’ve been to. As a huge Gordon fan, that was my first time seeing a HMS car win in person.
As a mark fan, it was amazing seeing my driver win. Wish chicagoland speedway would come back. I also would like to see the next gen cars on the indy oval.
Great show with Mark. He is the best. Wish you would have asked him about his thought on the upcoming all star race at North Wilkesboro. Would have loved to hear him talk about that place.
Great guest and interview! Started watching Cup casually in the early 90s. Mark wasn't whom I rooted for but was happy to see him do well. Quite a bit earlier in his career he had raced at my local track at least once. Wish it would have been at a time I was a little older and attending the races.
What an awesome 1 hour 07 minutes and 4 seconds. I was great to see Mark again. I have mostly been a Chevy fan but who not be a Mark Martin fan even if he drove a Ford. I totally enjoyed the show and am looking forward to the next Power Hour. I watch all the ootg shows and enjoy your insite into what’s going on in NASCAR. Keep the great shows coming.
I needed a guy to pull for because Richard Petty was getting to the end of his career. I took Mark in 1997 and he`s still my guy today. Nothing but class.
Awesome interview, always love his interviews. As my name implies I am bias, most people think of Mark as the #6, I think of the #2… been a fan since ASA
Eric, I know you do a yearly best/worst paint schemes but I was wondering if you would ever do a decades edition. Maybe the top 10 best of the 90's and then top ten worst or most questionable. Same for any decade. Just an idea. Love what you're doing man, keep growing your audience and the sport.
Best Power Hour so far having Mark Martin on it so congrats to you guys being able to nab him for the show. Looking forward to the next hour and twelve minute Power Hour. Lol. It’s better to just let it play out and if it ends in 58 minutes or 68 minutes it’s ok so Eric don’t worry about hitting 60 on the nose. I’m sure no one is complaining about the few extra minutes of content. Keep up the great work guys, really enjoy it.
I wish I still had my notes from the article I wrote about Mark on go fast news, Dale Earnhardt senior told a young driver that Mark Martin is the man you want to be, My thought was that Mark was the only champion that didn't need a trophy to prove it
Would love to meet Mark Martin and all the Nascar race drivers and Nascar hall of fame guys one day 😀 ❤ I'm die hard fan of Nascar racing and Nascar history stories too!!!!
Mark Martin the other guy great driver ! I watched you in ASA + IROC! A driver's great driver! Rarely a scratch on his car and willing to use the chrome horn when necessary ? Shaking you hand is a giant bucket list item!
Absolutely my favorite NASCAR driver of all time. A total class act, clean driver, and deep thinker. Say what you will about Denny Hamlin or anyone else, Mark Martin is the best driver to never have a championship.
Martin IS an honorable man and driver. First to apologize ,, first to admit fault,, never intentionally would wreck anyone, never had to worry about any enemies. Raced like a pro !! Only Gordon could beat him
I seen Mark Martin exiting the garage area at the CMS next Gen testing in November 2021, and I nonchalantly said, "Hey, Mark", so the security didn't question me, thinking I was somebody.
One of the things I remember about Mark's losses is that they weren't his fault. He seemed to be in just the wrong place when there was a wreck in front of him and he wasn't able to avoid it. I would sometimes turn the race off when that would happen.
The problem is not the tires or the tracks, the problem is they took away all the power from the car. The development of nascar engines should be right about a 1000 horse power and 11500 RPM if nascar had not interfered with the development path they were on.
just wanted to point his Dale jr car,..is not quite right. More of the nose was thrown on during a stop. He won,..BUT..the nose was tipped just a little back at top for easy xtra speed. Pretty sure Nascar made rule,..but the win stood.
At least omit was only a then Busch series race, but yeah I can't knock him too much about it because once when I was a kid racing micro sprints one race was super super dusty and the leader thought the white flag was the checkered flag, well I was about 5 car lengths behind said leader and just followed him right off of the track lol, so the third place running car ended up with the trophy that dusty night ;)

Leave a question for either me or Brennan and we may answer it on the next episode!
Does Mark Think He Should Have Won A Championship?
Does Brennan Poole plan on coming back again in the Cup Series?
@@ferferexpress3721 I think he thinks it worked it out how it meant to work out
What team did Brennan want to race for when he was growing up?
For Eric did you ever think you would be this involved in Nascar. And what does it feel like to be this involved in the world of Nascar.
My favorite driver of all time. As a smaller guy, Mark is a major role model to me. Height doesn't equal heart. His class and humility is second to none.
Mark talking about racing etiquette is the best take I’ve heard on it. Ill get so frustrated on IRacing from other drivers and Mark got it perfect when he said the right move isn’t your own to make anymore.
One of the best ever in NASCAR. Super respect this man!😊
Mark chillin in his Newell talking about racing is epic.
Mark Martin in the Valvoline car with flames on the Taurus nose in 2000 was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mark Martin fan since dirt track racing in the 1970s until his retirement from Nascar! Class act! Thanks for having him on your show!

Always great to hear from Mark!
this was awesome. I could tell Mark's words to Brennan were impactful in the greatest way. They were impactful to me. Keep it up fellas!
That was an amazing podcast. That encouragement Mark gave to Brennan was so cool.
👍
Mark martin is and always has been class act in the sport. Young drivers should take note how to carry yourself.
Mark Martin is the best Nascar Cup Series driver to never win a championship it in my personal opinion he was better than a lot of the Champions that ended up being he's one of the best to ever do it
That’s awesome having Mark on the show! How amazing :) keep up the great work!
This was the best Podcast so far that I have seen. Mark Martin is such a true hero in many ways.

Mark Martin has been my favorite driver even before he started racing in the NASCAR series.
Nice

You made it . Mark Martin nascars most respected driver. Congratulations. Mark Martin is my favorite driver of all time.
Dunno about the MOST respected but he def is at the top of that list no doubt
@diychad7268 he put the respect in racing and every driver that raced him says the same thing. You might be confusing that with championship.
I've got to admit Mark is my GOAT. Great driver, Super Man, and just a great guy.
Congratulations on the new Pod.
What a fantastic interview! Mark is such a class act.

You pronounced it right Brennan. The Mark Martin interview was awesome guys.
Great show !!! Was good to hear what Mark had to say !!! Can't wait for the next one !!! 😁
Love that you had Mrk Martin on.
Fascinating interview. Mark is about my age and he was always one of my favorite drivers. Thanks for sharing!
A class act! I thought the most exciting race I saw was the 2007 Daytona 500 against Harvick.
A legend that drove in the most competitive era of Nascar.
I needed a guy to pull for because Richard Petty was getting to the end of his career. I took Mark in 1997 and he`s still my guy today. Nothing but class.
Awesome interview, always love his interviews. As my name implies I am bias, most people think of Mark as the #6, I think of the #2… been a fan since ASA

Power Hour-ish. Cool to see Mark Martin on the show. Stapelton42 has also done work with Mark, talking about tricking out his Newell motor coach.
I saw that it was also a good learning experience
I wish I still had my notes from the article I wrote about Mark on go fast news, Dale Earnhardt senior told a young driver that Mark Martin is the man you want to be, My thought was that Mark was the only champion that didn't need a trophy to prove it
Love You Mark Martin...You have changed the way I see things 💯🏁
This was excellent, thank you very much
YOU NEED TO INTERVIEW the Waltrips, the Labontes, etc. This was a great interview
Stapleton42 and S1apSh0es are gonna love this one

That's crazy that they don't do that especially if you the customer pays for it
Friken AWESOME!
Guy Fieri and Jeff Goldblum podcast is the best podcast.
Class act!
GOAT MARK MARTIN ❤
ohhhh i love the Mark Martin rule
One of the things I remember about Mark's losses is that they weren't his fault. He seemed to be in just the wrong place when there was a wreck in front of him and he wasn't able to avoid it. I would sometimes turn the race off when that would happen.
Massive W
Best of all was the respect of other driver. Bases on what I've heard he would be in the running for Greatest of all time by driver's vote.
He was my favorite after Dale Sr.
Love it
Does Brennan Poole plan on coming back to the Cup Series?
Ross is like Nascars Russel Westbrook. He’s gonna fuck up a lot but he’s gonna give 110% all damn day and sometimes it’ll work out for him
Mr Valvoline himself
Yup
The problem is not the tires or the tracks, the problem is they took away all the power from the car. The development of nascar engines should be right about a 1000 horse power and 11500 RPM if nascar had not interfered with the development path they were on.
Happy Resurrection Day!!
Brennan do you think you will make it to cup one day?
Brennan Poole was in the Cup Series for one year driving the number 15 sponsored by Spartan Mosquito. And then wasn’t back since.
