To quote Martin: "The media talked more about the retirement stuff than necessary. I never announced I was going to retire," Martin said this week. "I did announce that I wasn't going to run the full schedule, and I didn't for two years, and I stepped out of the car when I planned to, leading the points, and I did all that. "Where my mind got changed was after a couple years of a refreshing break and a change of pace. I had the opportunity to become a part of Hendrick Motorsports and drive the No. 5 car, and we had been close to winning in the 2001 Daytona 500 and Phoenix and Pocono in the No. 8 car, and I could still taste it and really wanted a chance to try and win. And now we've won three, so this is just a great opportunity and I feel like I'm the luckiest man in the world to compete on this level on this stage, and have no thoughts other than I want to strap in that car every Sunday."</p> Evelyn here are the facts:

Mark was going to retire about FIVE years ago, they even gave him a Rocking Chair as a Retirement gift so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Why, he's just like Brian French when it comes to making a buck. Loved your blog- - - -I'll DEFINITELY be looking for more of them !!! By the way, Mark should have been in a rocking chair about FIVE years ago! At least when Rusty Wallace said he was retirin' - - - - HE DID !!! I wouldn't be impressed, no matter how old he is, if he won a championship now or in the near future. Just MY humble opinion !!! Later, Granny Grump !!! Dear Granny Grump,
