Mark Martin: The Racer's Racer

Mark Martin is a racer’s racer: a tough, tenacious driver whose professionalism and dedication comes through race after race. Coming heartbreakingly close to winning a Cup championship four times, he is a NASCAR fan favorite because of his easygoing demeanor and competitive, clean driving style. Mark Martin: The Racer’s Racer is the most up-to-date illustrated chronicle of Mark’s long, illustrious driving career-from the days he learned to drive in his dad’s company trucks to his early ASA races and eventual teaming with Jack Roush. With interviews from Mark, his sister Glenda, and the crew chief from Mark’s rookie season, Stock Car Racing magazine contributor Jerry F. Boone reveals how a kid from Batesville, Arkansas, became one of the world’s top stock car drivers with 35 Cup wins and 5 IROC championships. Photographs from veteran shooters Dick Conway, Nigel Kinrade, and the Stock Car Racing archives follow Martin’s journey, and driver No. 6’s complete Cup race statistics are also included.
