Mark started deep in the pack in 26th, finishing in 6th place. Just a year prior he had won at Sears Point in dominating fashion.

This is the only race I can find images with the same contingency sponsor orientation and even the riveting from the now missing splitter brace aligns perfectly from race imagery.

Mark was in at least three incidents and couldn't seem to catch a break. It's a shame too, he drove from 34th all the way into the top 10 but a lug nut issue on pit road and late spin set him back, he'd later finish 16th

The Roush team bringing a whole new meaning to Ford Fusion

If you’ve got a sharp eye you can locate some that not quite like the others.

Among the collection are two legitimate race used driver suits (2004 Viagra, 1999 Valvoline Cummins), one legitimate race used crew firesuit (1996 Winn Dixie) and five legitimate crew issued shirts (2008 Army, 2006 AAA, 1992 Valvoline, 1990 Whistler, 1989 Stroh’s).

Spoilers if you’re looking for the odd balls: The Scotts crew shirt is a Busch series/Edwards issued piece but sports the same color scheme as Mark’s 2005 dominant run through the Craftsman Truck series.

The IROC drivers suit is just a knock off replica and has Dale Jarrett’s name on the breast, but the authentic ones are incredibly hard to come by and I wanted a representative for Mark’s five IROC titles.

The Folgers jacket is a corporate/team issued, not over the wall variety. Still looking for a crew shirt or firesuit for that iconic sponsor program.

The Carolina Ford Dealers shirt is a cool story, Mark ran that sponsorship for some of his earliest Busch series races. The shirt comes from Clint Bowyer’s 2017 Darlington Throwback scheme, so a modern interpretation of a previous era.

Stroh’s Light and Whistler Radar Detectors are from Roush’s early Cougar Mustang days in IMSA, Mark was among the winning drivers for the 1989 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Thanks for taking a look!

Mark was running 2nd with less than 30 laps to go in the 2004 UAW-GM Quality 500...

until Brendan Gaughan decided to attempt to pit at the absolute last second, leaving Jimmy Spencer no time to avoid him. The two lapped cars then collected Mark and Ryan Newman. Mark ended up limping home to a 13th place finish, costing him 50 some odd points in the Championship race.

1998 or 1999, still working to ID it. If ‘98 it would be the very first year of the Ford Taurus program which would be pretty cool

Reach out if you or someone you know has Mark Martin sheetmetal, I’d love to discuss it with you. Thanks for taking a look!

Newest additions to the collection, and my first sheet metal cut of the 2001 debut year of the Pfizer/Viagra sponsorship program.

If you or someone you know has Mark Martin sheetmetal, I'd be very interested in connecting with them. Thanks for taking a look!
