Got to see Mark win at my home track at Bristol, Night Race in 1998. Awesome race it was. It was a week or so after his father passed away. So glad that he won that night!
Absolutely love Mark Martin, one of the cleanest and fairest drivers on the track His car was always spotless without a dent or a wheel Mark, because he drove with passion never seen this man move anyone out of his way.
But I do remember one time many years ago and it was funny. Mark come over the radio and said. What you think Ford will say if I help a Chevrolet win this race. Evidently they were all up front and one of the other Ford drivers had pissed him off and the only other one was a Chevrolet. 😂
Mark Martin is an OG influencer. Not like the superficial consumer-oriented social media influencers of today; rather he's someone that demonstrates what hard work, determination, and respect can earn you. I had a poster of Mark in my son's room (titled Determination) from birth through when he left for college. He's not a big race fan, but has learned to appreciate hard work and the importance of earning your way. Thanks Mark for all you continue to give us, and to Kenny for a great conversation with one of the best people in our sport! It was great to hear y'all are all right and hearing your perspectives on occasion help keep us on an even keel. Way to go, Herm!
God Bless you Kenny Wallace. Another stellar interview. I have concluded you are the only one that can pull off these insightful, entertaining interviews because of all that YOU have experienced in your life. Thanks to Mark Martin. He IS the man!!!!
Wait a sec: The text in episode 1 with Tony Stewart was orange & white like Home Depot. The text here is blue & white like Valvoline or Viagra. Herm is matching colors to these drivers’ sponsors on purpose! Nice touch.
I pulled for Mark when I seen him race first Bush race. Quit watching racing when he retired. Will watch outlaws and all dirt racin. Liked you too Kenny. Thanks for the racing memories
Mark is one of the best, on and off the track! Will always be one of my favorites. So cool to hear him mention Wayne Brooks. Had the pleasure of competing with Wayne in the late 90's in modifieds around Texas and Louisiana. Wayne and a few others were running V6's and whipping everyone's butt.
Great job again Herm. I think you may have found your calling Kenny. What I mean is only a racecar driver can do a interview with the greats like you do. Keep up this series please.
It's great seeing Mark Martin again ..... he is definitely one of the GOATs. I really miss the era you guys were talking about - respect on/off the track was through the roof. Those races were so cool to watch. I love these conversations - unfiltered, legit, and honest.
Herman you and Mark two of the best I have been a nascar fan since the late 50s but the era of mark Martin was the best years That is only my opinion but the drivers that raced then were my heroes, Kenny this is your best work Thank you buddy
Mark Martin is my favorite racer . As a kid I liked Bobby Allison and then Davy but had been a fan of Mark and after Davy I jumped on the Mark Martin race team .
Another fun interview, love listening to these guys and good ole memories and learning little things about them we wouldn't know otherwise, thanks again Kenny, loved this one with Mark as well, keep em coming!
What a great analogy about one step at a time that's exactly how people should live life and appreciate everyday..What a Conversation God Bless yall!!!!!
Mark is my age and i enjoyed watching him race in my favorite decade of racing, which is the 1980's . I can also relate to you guys, unfortunately, through pain ! I have had 3 knee surgeries, and 1 rotator cuff surgery. Best of luck to both of you guys !
Mark is the man and will always be the man! Love you, man! I met him in the hospitality area at Michigan international in 1997 a day I will never forget
Tony Stewart interview was good but,Mark Martin interview is over the top! Mark is a real racer,he remembers all of his past set ups.He remembers the stagger,spring rate,sway bar rate that he was running in the old days.its sad that Mark never won a Nascar championship,because he was defenitely one of the greatest. Keep on the good work Kenny!
Kenny, Mark, Rusty, Larry, Ken Essary, Trickle, the story of my youth. Great memories. Any chance to get Billy Moyer, Bloomer, Schrader, Terry Gene on in the future? Nick Hoffman, Rumley. Love this channel! Great job Herm!
Sure miss the old days of racing were everyone had fun, I shut it down in 2001 when the bickering got to the point it wasn't fun anymore. Mark was one of my most favorite drivers, he didn't need to take a person out to win a race. Im not sure if Mark still goes up to Idaho during the summer but I'm hoping to meet up with him at the RV park someday. Thank you to all the old time racers that made the sport enjoyable to watch.
I have two favorite NASCAR drivers ever (okay three, you too Kenny, oh five, your Brothers too). Mark Martin and Lake Speed. What humble guys. Love their insights. Having watched this I like the guy even more.
I always love watching both of you racing at Springfield fair grounds. There's time I wish I stayed with it. I had John Kindig mini stock. I understand getting old. My Birthday is May 23 in a couple of weeks. I'm will be 69 years old.
This was amazing . Life long Nascar fan. The 1997 Race was my first live race. I was standing in the old back stretch(no security was there) I could lean on the fence and see Mark in side the car ever time he came by. (It was a great race) Mark is a amazing man. Thank You Kenny for this. Keep up the interviews!!!
I’m your age, Herm. I’m so blessed to have grown up in the greatest age of NASCAR. Thank you for starting these interviews. I feel like I’m sitting around with old friends. I’m so excited to see who else you have in the pipeline. ❤
Mr. Humble...as I always called him. Mark Martin...always the gentleman racer who would give you the position without a fuss or fight regardless if it were the first lap or the last lap. As he put it, "If you caught me and was on my back bumper than you definitely had a quicker car." The SAME driver Joey Blo PURPOSELY wrecked to win a rain-shortened event, then wonders why people hate him so much to this day. The very SAME driver who answered honestly in a mid-race interview after wrecking out. Being asked, What happened?" Mark looked right into the camera and said, "Ran out of talent." I believe it was the race where his car veered off the track under YELLOW for no apparent reason. The same man who acted more like a child winning his FIRST NASCAR race out in Phoenix after beating the field in BOTH practice sessions; putting the #5 car on the pole and then SOUNDLY WHIPPING the WHOLE FIELD that night with Alan Gustafson as his crew chief!!! Yes...Mr.Humble who was a BETTER gentleman racer than "Gentleman" Ned ever THOUGHT of being!!!
I would almost would give my last leg to be able to watch Mark Martin, Rusty, Larry Phillips and many other racing drivers at The Ozark Empire Fairgrounds plus other venues as well.
Mark be proud of your career. As a fan I never questioned your effort or finish, or your behavior. You were always one of the best NASCAR driver examples. Nobody was ever ashamed of saying they were a Mark Martin fan. NEVER!!!!!🤔
I've had conversations with Mark Martin several times when I worked for NASCAR 1996-2006. as part of the security/safety teams at Daytona, Darlington, and Talladega NASCAR tracks. I always enjoyed every minute. I even took a close friend to one of his auto dealerships for her to buy a new car. Also a nice experience.
Kenny - like your new show! Love that you had Mark Martin on it ! I never was a huge NASCAR fan, but was a fan. Mark Martin was my favorite. I plan on visiting his museum this summer. I loved watching him in the old Busch series and IROC.
Mark you're such a good race car driver and you should have won at least three championships of not more but just to see how much people like you you watch these Darlington paint schemes at least two or three would be Mark Martin paint schemes
Mark has always been my driver to watch. Glad to see he is enjoying retirement, well deserved. He is awesome. Thanks Kenny for doing these conversations, always enjoy what you do for the sport.
THANK YOU Mark for mentioning Larry Phillips multiple times during this podcast. I watched him race at I-70 Speedway. He was amazing ~ as are you! (Dick Trickle too).
Kenney, thanks for doing this and letting Mark tell his story. Ibe heard most of them, but I never get tired of listening to him espousing wisdom and truth. ❤
Grew up watching Larry Phillips, Rusty Wallace and Mark race on Friday nights at the Fairgrounds Speedway with my dad. Some of the most cherished memories I've ever had. We would watch them race at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Mo back in the '70 and to this very day it's some of the best racing I've seen. We never missed a World Cup 400. I lost my dad in February and it's so nice to hear from the guys that made some many great memories for me.
I love it! Mark Martin tells it like it is. I’m looking forward to his book. He is on point about dirt late model racing also. That’s the hottest game in town now. Thanks Kenny! Love the podcast!!
Thanks for this and apprecaite his perspective, and he would know for sure.. he came along when Nascar was coming up in TV and the mainstream. Great job and questions as well from KW...he and Dale Jr really understand how to let the guests talk and give their opinions and persepctives.
If Martin was treated like the GM drivers NASCAR would have stuck by their original ruling on the spacer and he would have been the champ just my opinion.
That is true that's why I don't like Nascar as far as the favoritism that General Motors gets. Ford always got treated like crap when it comes to racing. People say oh GM has won more races then the other manufacturers. I wonder why.
![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Mark Martin is my favorite nascar driver of all time.
Hell, he was still my favorite driver even when he drove the Chevrolet & Toyota
I didn't care what he was driving, my favorite driver for almost 20 years.
And here I am 30 years later appreciating what he has to say more than ever.
It's hard to argue with *6* IROC championships. The Intimidator is the only other driver with that stat!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆‼‼‼

What an Honest Interview by Mark Martin! Kenny Wallace & Mark Martin 2 of the Finest Americans! 🗽🗽
I've been watching and following you since 79 I'm 56 now and have always been a fan thanks for the memories
Love the fact that Mark is coming up more and more on different shows.
Love Mark Martin glad he's doing well
Mark is a legend! Always raced clean never saw him dump anyone in NASCAR.
Agreed. I'm not a Ford fan but I always had lots of respect for MM. The man's got loads of testicular fortitude
But I do remember one time many years ago and it was funny.
Mark come over the radio and said.
What you think Ford will say if I help a Chevrolet win this race.
Evidently they were all up front and one of the other Ford drivers had pissed him off and the only other one was a Chevrolet. 😂
That 6 car will always hold a special place in my heart,a true gentleman driver he was. Should of been a champion many times.
I've been a Mark Martin fan my whole life. Mad respect for this man , and you as well Kenny!
Another great discussion Kenny! Thank you!!!! Marks a true competitor and racer, beatem fair but make sure you beat’em!
Thanks so much Kenny for talking with one of the best racer's and men of our time. This is priceless and awesome 🏁✌️😎

Can not wait. Mark's interview on "Dinner with Racers" was epic. I'm sure this will rival it. Thanks Kenny!
Hey Trent where can I find Mark on Dinner with racers? I couldn't seem to find it.
@@brianbrogan2838 It's only in podcast form. It was back in 2020 I believe. It's a 2 part interview,
@@user-eh1ti7gu6b thanks brother!
Mark is one of the best, on and off the track! Will always be one of my favorites. So cool to hear him mention Wayne Brooks. Had the pleasure of competing with Wayne in the late 90's in modifieds around Texas and Louisiana. Wayne and a few others were running V6's and whipping everyone's butt.
Great job again Herm. I think you may have found your calling Kenny. What I mean is only a racecar driver can do a interview with the greats like you do. Keep up this series please.
Great job Herman! Mark is a true racer/car builder/mechanic/do everything racer. He said THE TRUTH about dirt late model racing!
It's great seeing Mark Martin again ..... he is definitely one of the GOATs. I really miss the era you guys were talking about - respect on/off the track was through the roof. Those races were so cool to watch. I love these conversations - unfiltered, legit, and honest.
Herman you and Mark two of the best I have been a nascar fan since the late 50s but the era of mark Martin was the best years
That is only my opinion but the drivers that raced then were my heroes, Kenny this is your best work
Thank you buddy
Gentleman Mark Martin, one of the greatest drivers to never win a Championship but still to this day my second favorite driver next to Earnhardt Sr
FIRST CLASS INDIVIDUAL WORTHY OF THE EARNED RESPECT.
Mark Martin - My favorite driver from his start, to the end & still! Thank you for this Kenny, you rock!!
pumped to see this later today. two of my favorite “good guys” to root for back then
thx NCripTid, it's a great conversation!
Mark Martin is my favorite racer . As a kid I liked Bobby Allison and then Davy but had been a fan of Mark and after Davy I jumped on the Mark Martin race team .
Another fun interview, love listening to these guys and good ole memories and learning little things about them we wouldn't know otherwise, thanks again Kenny, loved this one with Mark as well, keep em coming!
Mark was a favorite of mine.he set a bar high for others
Mark Martin is The man! Kenny, another great interview,thank you! Can’t wait for episode 3 of Kenny Conversation!
What a great analogy about one step at a time that's exactly how people should live life and appreciate everyday..What a Conversation God Bless yall!!!!!
Mark is my age and i enjoyed watching him race in my favorite decade of racing, which is the 1980's . I can also relate to you guys, unfortunately, through pain ! I have had 3 knee surgeries, and 1 rotator cuff surgery. Best of luck to both of you guys !
Binge watching Kenny conversations.....I was a huge Rusty fan....but always glad when Mark won....I was at Talladega when he won caution free race!
Mark is the man and will always be the man! Love you, man! I met him in the hospitality area at Michigan international in 1997 a day I will never forget
Tony Stewart interview was good but,Mark Martin interview is over the top! Mark is a real racer,he remembers all of his past set ups.He remembers the stagger,spring rate,sway bar rate that he was running in the old days.its sad that Mark never won a Nascar championship,because he was defenitely one of the greatest. Keep on the good work Kenny!
So much respect for the Legend that is Mark Martin.
This could have went on forever and I would still be here. Two old skool racers having a blast with the past.
Kenny saying Go F Yourself & Mark laughing TOO PRICELESS 😂
Mark Martin is one of my Favorite Nascar Drivers
Kenny, Mark, Rusty, Larry, Ken Essary, Trickle, the story of my youth. Great memories. Any chance to get Billy Moyer, Bloomer, Schrader, Terry Gene on in the future? Nick Hoffman, Rumley. Love this channel! Great job Herm!
Yeb, we were lucky erent we.
I think he has had Schrader on already but I could be wrong, I swear I remember him talking to him from Schraders shop
Class act ! A real gentleman and one hell of a competitor! Thanks for taking the time to give the old fan a bit of history.
another great conversation with one of my all time favorites. the ford boys back in the day were tough to beat.
Sure miss the old days of racing were everyone had fun, I shut it down in 2001 when the bickering got to the point it wasn't fun anymore. Mark was one of my most favorite drivers, he didn't need to take a person out to win a race. Im not sure if Mark still goes up to Idaho during the summer but I'm hoping to meet up with him at the RV park someday. Thank you to all the old time racers that made the sport enjoyable to watch.
By far, the best nascar talk on any social media channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Kenny Wallace........
thx low country!
Great session! I've always liked Mark Martin
I have two favorite NASCAR drivers ever (okay three, you too Kenny, oh five, your Brothers too). Mark Martin and Lake Speed. What humble guys. Love their insights. Having watched this I like the guy even more.
Herman you hit another home run on this one.👍
That is the difference between then and now right there, these guys built their cars. And Kenny still does..
I always love watching both of you racing at Springfield fair grounds. There's time I wish I stayed with it. I had John Kindig mini stock. I understand getting old. My Birthday is May 23 in a couple of weeks. I'm will be 69 years old.
