Mark Martin’s racing days weren’t just about speed—they were about survival. Back in his teens on the Batesville dirt tracks, a checkered flag celebration exploded into chaos when a rival tried to wreck him, sparking a full-on brawl in the pits. Martin laughs now about taking his time to reach the fight, but he’s open about regretting his own temper over the years. Fast forward, and Martin’s biggest win might be off the track: NASCAR finally listened to his push for a fairer championship format. Does NASCAR need more drama, or is it time for cooler heads? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR
