The image of the large number six, boldly outlined in red and printed on a black background, and fans of NASCAR immediately think of the driving legend, Mark Martin.

In Batesville Arkansas, on January 9, 1959 Mark Martin was born. Growing up in Arkansas provided Mark Martin with an opportunity to learn the ins and outs of racing before he made an appearance on the American Speed Association (ASA) at age seventeen, the same year he won the American Speed Association’s Rookie of the Year award. Martin went on to become the man to beat by winning the ASA’s championship three years in a row.

In 1981 Martin was ready to move onto bigger and better things. He started driving on the NASCAR circuit only to return to the ASA in 1984, after several sponsorship changes. In 1986 Martin won his fourth American Speed Association championship.
