[edit] Links

Question: Should we make the links section "official" links only, or should we put any unofficials ones in there? -- DiegoTehMexican 14:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

To put it nicely, this article is a mess. It needs more information on Mark's pre-Roush years and his Busch Series career. The Car #6 History section in the Roush Racing article should possibly be moved here, since that is a Martin-exclusive section (until Todd Kluever takes over next season. The Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon pages are very good models, IMHO. -DiegoTehMexican 19:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed

There's noted that citation is needed for a statement about Mark Martin's love for rap music (which is well known fact and it amazes me, how you need citations for that). How about http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news?slug=goldstandard&prov=tsn&type=lgns ? To be exact, at the end of the article - This is . . . Mark Martin

Musical taste: Runs the length of the FM dial.

Who he's listening to right now: Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Eminem.

I'm quite sure these three qualify as rap. Sincerely, Carnifex, 88.222.177.11 09:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top 10's vs. Wins

When a driver wins, do you increment wins and the top 10 count, or just the wins? I added Martin's recent Banquet 400 win and updated his win count, but not his top 10 count.

Yes, a win also increments the top 10 count. -DiegoTehMexican 19:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Whew. I updated Mark's infobox with the new cross-series driver template. Here's hoping that he doesn't go and race in ARCA next, or we're going to have to add even more, and this thing's already massive. -- DiegoTehMexican 03:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
