Kevin from Maple Valley, Wash.: I see Mark Martin is driving for Rick Hendrick in the Darlington Busch race. Is there anything to read into this?

Larry McReynolds: Absolutely not. Mark still enjoys doing some Busch racing. He does not want to do a lot of races, and Ginn Racing did not really have a place for him because Regan Smith is running the full schedule. Hendrick has the resources to do it, and Martin's quite excited about it. Just look at how well Hendrick's Busch stuff runs, just like their Cup stuff. But there's nothing there. Remember the relationship between Ginn and Hendrick, who supplies all of the engines to Ginn so there's an indirect relationship there.

First off lets get this straight ...Larry Mac doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.

Secondly I do believe that Mark is running for fun this year. He has no full time schedule so there is no way he'll be in contention for anything.

right now Mark is having fun exploring the world beyond Roush...

It's good to see that he's enjoying it like he does.
