Where are they now? Mark Martin enjoying less competitive retirement life.
For nearly 40 years, Mark Martin was known as one of the toughest opponents in NASCAR. No matter if your name was Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt, Stewart or others, if you saw Martin’s car closing on you in your rearview mirror, you knew you were in for a battle.
But since retiring following the 2013 NASCAR Cup season, Martin has gotten far away from racing.
“I’m retired,” the 62-year-old NASCAR Hall of Famer emphatically told NASCAR.com. “I’m really enjoying retired life, that’s really all I’ve got going on. I enjoy seeing and spending time with family and seeing friends and traveling and seeing the country. Arlene (his wife) and I have done a good bit of motor coaching.”
