 At
the age of 15, in just his third
attempt, Martin won a feature race
at a local Arkansas dirt track. He
capped off his first season of
racing with the 1974 Arkansas state
championship. After the early
success, he moved up to V-8 racing
in 1976 and moved up again, to
asphalt racing, later that season...Book

By
1977, Martin had ascended to the ASA
series, where he battled men like
Rusty Wallace, Bobby Allison and
Dick Trickle. Martin was named ASA
Rookie of the Year in '77 and
followed that up with three
consecutive ASA titles from
1978-1980.
In
1984, Martin returned to the ASA. He
would be teamed with crew chief
Jimmy Fennig in 1985 and would win
another title in 1986. Martin's
fortunes began to look up in 1987,
when he ran a full Busch Series
schedule for Bruce Lawmaster. His
win at Dover that year grabbed the
attention of another car owner, Jack
Roush. Roush was starting his own
Cup team and pegged Martin as his
driver.
The relationship has proved
fruitful: Martin had a string of 10
consecutive top-10 points finishes
that ended in 2001, when he finished
12th.
Off the track, Martin owns Mark
Martin Performance, a company that
sells quarter-midget racing chassis
like the one his son, Matt, races
in. He also helped build a
quarter-midget track in New Smyrna,
Fla.
