Hi Mark Martin fans, it's been a while since I did any work on the site, but you'll be pleased to know that I've been beavering away on this new version,
which is written in css, my first attempt at css so if you think it's rubbish please say so.
I've also been working on graphics for the 2007 trucks, we haven't built the diecasts yet, but as usual I'm putting up mock ups while I wait for progress on the builds.
Please take a look at the help page as I need some pics of the rear ends of some of the trucks. I'll add the mock ups over the next month or two and they'll go on
my waiting for production list.
I have not done much work on 2008 yet, I guess I'll catch up over winter on all this seasons' stats and cars.
This site is a pictorial record of the history of Mark Martin's
NASCAR racing career, a reference book of the cars that Mark Martin has driven throughout
his illustrious career in Nextel, Winston Cup, Busch Grand National, American Speed Association (ASA). The book is not complete, I continue to discover
records of cars to add to the site, I normally have a backlog of 20 or more to add at any one time.
His most famous team owners Jack Roush and Bill Davis, his most famous cars, Ford Thunderbird and Taurus, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix and Ventura,
Oldsmobile, and all those sponsors Pfizer, Valvoline, Folgers, Miller, Stroh Lite and Stroh's Lite, Amsoil, Winn Dixie, Pennzoil, Carolina Ford Dealers, Apache Stove, Jolly Rancher,
are all here on these NASCAR model cars and are mentioned on this page purely for SEO purposes. If you're into collecting
NASCAR diecast models of Mark Martin's cars you're in the right place for reference, but nothing is sold from this site.
My passion for uncovering the cars that he has driven, combined with
my passion for collecting diecast replicas of them, has lead me to produce this site
so that others can enjoy seeing the cars that Mark Martin drove from 1974 onwards. The site has in excess 150 pictures of 1/24 scale diecast NASCAR race cars
Driven by Mark Martin together with photographs and mock ups of others that are waiting to be custom built.
If you're looking for Mark Martin diecasts then take a look at my collection and see some of Mark Martin's cars that are not
in general production along with just about all the diecasts made by Motorsports Authentics, Action, Team Caliber, Racing Replicas, Racing Champions and others.
I hope they will revive memories of days and tracks long gone by, and if by chance you'd like to share
with other fans your memories of seeing any particular race, then send me a short story and photographs and I'll be delighted to publish
them alongside
the appropriate diecast model.
I try to get across to the US to watch a race each season, usually tied in with a two week holiday tour. It was during a trip to the 2001 Las
Vegas race that I started collecting 1/24 scale diecasts, but I only really got serious in 2005.
This is my collection of 1/24 scale diecast models of NASCAR race cars driven by Mark Martin during his illustrious career.
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.
If you have photographs of any cars not included in my collection I'd love to see them, email via the link at the bottom of the page or in the contact page.
Please don't send anything that is copyright protected.
I must acknowledge the help of those who have custom built models for me and in particular a gentleman
called Wendell. His
custom models are just wonderful, and Rick, who raced sprints against the Wallace boys and is a devoted Rusty fan, without whose help this collection would be only half its' size.
I wish you well Rick and hope that things are working out for you.
My display cabinets
are custom built by Bill, they are perfect for displaying these models and nicely built.
Photographs: I'd like to pay tribute to those nice folks at BGNRacing.com for permission to use their photographs on this website.
If you have a Mark Martin site then email me and we can exchange links.
