don't talk trash about him, i want to know what yall seriously think about it. Personally I think at the end of his 22 scheduled races martin may take Ginn up on his offer. what are yall's thoughts? I think if martin does race full time and race for the cup, this may actually be his year.

Mark has said himself that the team has agreed to everything he has asked. If he comes out of these first 22 races still in the top 5 or 6 in points, I don't see how he could not continue with a full season. He has allot on his plate this year Bush, trucks and mentoring the young drivers on the team, but it will be hard for him to pull out if he has a chance at a title.

38, maybe 39 if he doesn't win before the All-star race (even if he doesn't advance by winning the Showdown, I'm sure he'll be voted in), out of the 40 races (no shootout for him) [36 point races + the Duel race (Daytona 500 "qualifier" race)+ the Showdown (for those not in the All-star, which he is no longer qualified for, I believe) and most likely he will make it into the All-star (by winning the Showdown or fan vote). That for HMS. He will do some Nationwide in a JRMotorsports car.]

I believe if he has great runs and he stays to the top in the points, he will probably work it out so he can keep racing and do full time. However if he has some bad runs over the next few weeks and slips back in the points, I believe he and the team will just leave it as it is and have him just run the part time schedule.

I say he does take the full time ride but won't do well. Even though they run Hendrick motors, they did really poor last year in setting up their cars. Unfortunelty, one race doesn't make a season. I like him but I don't see him in the top 12 near the end of the season. Not because of him but because of the cars.

Maybe, but not this year. 19 years with Roush all full time, then has to move to a different owner to get the part-time schedule he wanted? Sounds like he wanted a lighter schedule more than a different owner, so I'd be surprised if he does eventually accept.

I don't think he'll run a full schedule. I think he'll run more than 22 though. Matt Kenseth has $200 on the table betting Martin will run a full schedule.

I don't believe he will. He has already started working with Regan Smith, Ricky Carmichael and his son this year. Since both Ricky and his son are in Florida, he plans to work with them during some Florida late model racing this year. Many of these weekends interfere with the race weekends he decided not to run.

Well, I would be kind of surprised if he didn't accept, since he just never quits racing, he was going to retire with Rusty, but look at him now, he's still driving, and I think he will drive full time.

If he is having fun at that time, I know he will drive full time. He has a good shot at winning the cup.

If they keep giving him cars like the one he had on Sunday... I think he might. He's a nice guy and all.. but you gotta think it eats at him to end his career having been so consistently successful, yet never won a championship or the Daytona 500.
