Martin is often nicknamed Mr. Consistency because he frequently places in the top 10 in races. He has also qualified for the Chase for the Cup all 3 years of its existence. Martin is known as a "racer's racer". This basically means that he is willing to race any kind of vehicle in any kind of conditions anywhere in the world. After racing in the short dirt tracks in the state of Arkansas for several years, Martin debuted in the American Speed Association (ASA) in 1977. He won the circuit's Rookie of the Year title in 1977 and then 3 consecutive championships from 1978 to 1980. Martin began his Cup career in 1981. After bouncing about with different sponsors and teams from 1981 to 1983, he returned to ASA in 1984. In his only full year in Cup during this period, he ran his own team and even had 5 top 10s, but ran out of money. In 1986, he won yet another ASA championship. In 1987, he gave NASCAR racing another shot by running in the NASCAR Busch Series. After a win in Dover, Delaware, he was spotted by car owner Jack Roush. In 1988, Martin began a long relationship with Roush that continued for 19 years.</description><generator>Fwicki.Com - Fwicki Feed Generator</generator><language>en-us</language><image><url>http://www.fwicki.com/images/ui/feed-link.png</url><title>Fwicki - RSS Management</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/fwickis/NASCAR/Mark-Martin</link><description>Fwicki - RSS Management</description><width>88</width><height>90</height></image><item><title>Chad Knaus ......A New Era Of Crew Chiefs</title><link>http://bleacherreport.com/articles/211153-chad-knaus-a-new-era-of-crew-chiefs</link><guid>http://bleacherreport.com/articles/211153-chad-knaus-a-new-era-of-crew-chiefs547</guid><description>The year was 1985, and school was just about to let out for summer vacation, a time of the year that all young people have always looked forward to... by Sal Sigala Jr.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:16:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>RSS Management</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/</link><guid>http://www.fwicki.com/2</guid><description>&lt;div style="text-align: left; font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Arial; font-size: .70em; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sponsored Links:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
