Rejuvenated Mark Martin Remains NASCAR’s Sentimental Favorite
by Holly Cain Filed under: Mark Martin , Chase for the Sprint Cup , Hendrick Motorsports HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Mark Martin winces, then breaks into a grin every time he hears the introduction. “Ladies and gentlemen … Mark Martin, who is attempting to become the oldest champion in NASCAR history.” The difference between this week and years ago is that Martin grinned. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Martin trails his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson by 108 points entering Sunday’s Ford 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead Miami Speedway. Johnson, 34, only needs to finish 25th or better to clinch a historic fourth consecutive title. Martin, 50, is still looking for his first.
