Last fall, Mark Martin announced that the 2000 season would be his final year running a limited schedule in the BGN. Martin will wrap up his Busch career with a 14-race schedule this season. Winn-Dixie, Martin’s primary sponsor since 1993, decided to commemorate Martin’s final year in the Busch Series with a new paint scheme for 2000. It captures the greatest moments in Martin’s Busch career all on one Ford Taurus. The scheme can be seen on Jayski’s Paint Scheme Gallery. Martin is the winningest driver in BGN history with 40 victories. He broke Jack Ingram’s record of 31 wins at North Carolina Speedway in October 1997. In 187 starts, Martin has 40 wins, 81 top-five and 109 top-10 finishes. He has also claimed 23 poles. His career earnings total $2,345,255. Martin’s best year in the Busch Series came in 1993 when he won seven races of the 14 he entered.
