Mark Martin and the fountain of youth

| | Comments (0) |

Mark Martin was asked if he thinks his team owner Jack Roush feels guilty about not winning a championship together. Martin has been runnuer-up four times. But if Martin can be in the top 10 in points after the race at Richmond International Raceway, and be part of the Chase, he will get another chance to win a Cup championship.
This might be Martin's last chance. He is expected to stop racing full time on the Nextel Cup Series after this season. Then again, 2005 was supposed to be his last year in the Cup Series.
Martin said one of the reasons Roush doesn't want to see him go is because then Roush would have to admit he's getting old.
"I think Jack wants to hang on to what we have because we had it for so long and that holding onto it means that we're not getting old," Martin said. "That might be part of it too. I don't know. Jack's a great guy. He's a friend for life and it means a lot for him to be in here fighting to keep me in rather than pushing me out."
