Okay about MM again and not his sponsor... I've got a huge Marky fan as a freind and when I say huge, we're talking about that she's got her house full of Mark Martin stuff...except for anything that has the word Viagra on it. She just never could accept the fact that Mark took Viagra on as a sponsor. I'm betting she is hoping that his announcement tells all that he is changing sponsorships.
Mark has always been a sort of an enigma to me. I like to think of him as a pure racer, very unlike so many of todays drivers who have to juggle between sponsor and driving. Yeah, Mark has always had to do this, but I don't think that it's ever been a driving force with him in order to keep his ride. But for some reason, I, along with many others have seen this man appear to be in such dire depression even when he wins that I wonder what is going on in his life. It's clear that there are few in this sport that puts as much effort into training and he has so much talent. In so many ways I hope that this season, he can finally find that ellusive Cup championship that he has strived so long for, but then again, when I think about who he is driving for, I rethink that thought. What ever happens, what ever Mark decides, I will always remember Mark as the youngster who rolled his car over during a race at Riverside and then he hustled back to the pits on foot to get someone to help him get the car uprighted again so he could drive it. Talk about drive.
