Mark Martin: Races
built 608 days ago
This is the / Holiday Fantasy / special paint scheme of Mark Martin's #01 U.S. Army / Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. Martin’s Army car is decorated for the holidays in a way that presents itself as a thank you gift to the soldiers. This car is dotted with snowflakes as a toy soldier stands guard and a wreath decorates the #01 on the door. The Sam Bass Holiday Collection was introduced in 2002. This is a fantasy car, and will not be raced.

The Models span the entire era that Mark Martin raced in, cars from each race series from 1974 until 2006 are all included. Some of the models are production models and others are custom built using high quality donor cars. Some of the customs are not genuine race cars but are of interest none-the-less, such as the Miller Time Buick from the movie Stroker Ace, which was a Jolly Rancher Buick loaned to the movie makers by Mark Martin.

After a dull 2000, Martin picked up a new sponsor in Viagra. Viagra boosted Martin's performance, helping him win the 2002 NASCAR Championship in a close battle with Ricky Bobby. He won the championship again the next two years, first as a driver, and in 2004 as an owner of a Ford team. Martin picked up a new sponsor in 2006, in the form of AARP, who had ... gotten into racing that year with Sterling Marlin. The similar names and cars confused many drunken redneck fans. In 2007, Martin decided to skip half the races, because he was training to join the Army, his new sponsor.
