Batesville MarkMartinville Sign
Looks like the City of Batesville got busy and finished the Batesville Race sign. Just in time for Mark Martin’s 5th annual fan appreciation Day. Do you think that is a coincidence? Yeah, me either. I am sure there will be a lot of fans at the Mark Martin Ford dealership the next few days.
My wife and I actually went to school with Mark. My brother-in-law actually drove Mark around in Mark’s Chevy blazer because Mark didn’t have his drivers license. It’s funny what you remember about people when you grew up around them.
Anyway, despite what I remember about Mark when we were growing up I wish he could pull out a nascar championship. Most likely will not be this year. But I hear he wants to be back next year for another full season.
A great site to keep up to date on NASCAR news and events is NASCARVIEW. They have live chat rooms during the races and lots of other racey information.

Well I was starting to wonder last week if they were even gonna put his sign back up. I was a little younger than Mark but I remember him racing at the track at locust and how we thought it was so neat…I was just a kid but I guess that is where my love for nascar come from. I am addicted to it I wont even go anywhere on sunday after church if a race is on. hehehee
I have missed a few but not many………And I love dirt racing as well. I am hoping the rain will hold off today…….
I remember the first annual mark martin fan days at the old dealership on saturday when rusty wallace was there it poured down rain. lighting and thunder and the works. People were running for cover where they could but still a long long line of folks who looked like a bunch of drowned rats waiting for a autograph from mark….
I hope to be there tomorrow. I have seen Tony several times and the last two times he was here so I am saving my film for tomorrow. Clayton you need to go and get some good pictures to share with us………..They dont let us little folks in to shoot pics but you can……………Hope to see some of you die hard mark martin fans there this weekend………………
And dont forget with have racing thursday and friday night out at the track at locust. Rumor is Ken Shrader will be there with us…………..See you there in victory lane…………………
