Mark Martin 's back in a car this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway -- this time, however, it will be in the pace car.


Freshly minted as a selectee in the NASCAR Hall of Fame's Class of 2017, Martin jumped at the opportunity to log laps again before the Coca-Cola 600 -- a race he won in 2002.


Martin will lead the field to green for the 57th running of the Coca-Cola 600 and said, "When the speedway called to ask me if I'd do it, my first reaction was 'Hell, yeah!' "

Does this mean he's doing The Double? 'Cause I heard he was in Indy for the 500.

Yes, they actually just talked about it on the local Charlotte news, saying that he will be in Indy for the start of the race and then will be here to drive the pace car. So it sounds like he's not staying for the whole race in Indy.
