What class! Martin is the real deal.
Anyone who watched the post race interviews after the Daytona 500, saw the true nature of one of NASCAR's veteran stars. Mark Martin didn't rant, cuss, or whine about the outcome. Compare that appreciation for getting to participate with the arrogance and self-centeredness of other professional athletes.... NASCAR drivers vs. NFL or NBA players. By the way, wasn't it refreshing to see such class in the two Super Bowl Head Coaches?
Do you watch the super speedway races just to see the numerous wrecks? I don't. We have progressed so much since the passing of Dale and the other great losses on track. All those improvements within the car and to the tracks have given us great rewards, i.e. Clint Boyer climbing unharmed out of a flaming car that had been sliding on its roof for hundreds of yards to the gasps of millions.
