NASCAR icon Mark Martin joins Paul Tracy on Racers Unchained for a wide-ranging, brutally honest conversation about racing, confidence, aging, and the evolution of the sport.
With 40 Cup Series wins, 49 Busch/Xfinity Series wins, five IROC championships and inductions into both the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Motorsports Hall of Fame, Mark reflects on what truly made him competitive – not raw aggression, but building a better race car.
Mark opens up about:
- Why he knew it was time to walk away from driving
- Getting back behind the wheel at Laguna Seca years after retirement
- How processing speed and confidence define elite drivers
- His deep involvement in car setup during his years at Roush Racing
- The shift from “eyeball engineering” to simulation-driven racing
- What he believes NASCAR got wrong with the Next Gen car
- Why closer fields don’t always mean better racing
- The importance of cars looking right to fans
