Clint Bowyer's Darlington throwback paint scheme to honor Nascar Hall of famer Mark Martin
When you make a list of the most successful NASCAR drivers in the last three decades, it doesn’t take long for Mark Martin’s name to rise to the top.
The Batesville, Arkansas-native won 40 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races, finished second in the championship standings five times and notched five titles in the IROC Series during the course of his 31-year career. The 2017 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee was also incredibly proficient in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, winning 49 races and 30 poles.
Clint Bowyer and his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team will tap into that proficiency in the Sept. 3 Southern 500 NASCAR Cup Series event at Darlington Raceway when they honor Martin with a throwback paint scheme from when he drove a Carolina Ford Dealers Ford Thunderbird for Bill Davis Racing in 43 XFINITY Series races between 1988 and 1991.
