Why is Mark Martin still racing, didn't he retire? I get tired of the hoopla. a drivier threatening to retire

Question

and then coming back. Look at Rusty, dale jarrett, did they come back? No. If you are going to retire, then get out of the car. He is way to old. Give some of the newer rookies a chance to run.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Actually, Rhonda, I CARE. I am a NASCAR fan as well as a horseracing fan. No need to be rude.

ilovedietcoke: To answer your question, I think that Mark had every intention of retiring, but Rousch asked him to stay on a bit longer to develop David Ragan. Then, when MM cut back his schedule, he realized he didn't want to be out of it entirely. I believe the only reason Rusty isn't back in a car is due to his contractual obligations to ESPN. He talks about it all the time.

Personally, I miss the veterans.

Answer 2

It's just like alot of these old people, like a certain politicain that should retire.

Answer 3

Well, I am sure that NO one in the HORSE racing thread really cares or knows why they still race.

I for one would like to see Jerry Baily or Gary Stevens race again instead of enjoying retirement
