Perennial fan favorite Mark Martin had some insight into his career, and into the slump his #5 team has been in during the 2010 Sprint Cup Series.
Didn’t really see this coming for the 5 car … Things change, the target is a moving target and we were hitting the bull’s eye last year. And we haven’t found the bull’s eye this year.
When I look back on it, I’ve been very, very fortunate to have been incredibly successful at doing what I have passion for and love. And I’m no champion. I’m just lucky I got to win a pile of races.
I’m no champion and I haven’t earned the right to be in that category or to stand beside those guys. But at the same time, I’m proud that I made them work for it and I saw them finish behind me many a time. And that I can be proud of.
I think that there’s a measure to every human being. There’s different ways you measure success. If you’re a race car driver, points is one of those measurements. But it is not the only measuring stick.
