Martin says he will be in the #5 in 2011:

  • MARK MARTIN, #5 DELPHI/GODADDY.COM CHEVY, met with members of the media at Charlotte Motor Speedway and discussed his plans. A partial transcript:
    ANYTHING NEW IN YOUR FUTURE IN TERMS OF NEXT YEAR OR 2012? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING YET?
    “No. Everything is still as planned. There are scenarios beginning to formulate, but I would expect it to be a long time until those boil down to real options. It could be as much as a year until those boil down to real options. Everything is pretty quiet; there is a little bit rumbling around out there. By the way, I heard you guys talk about the speedway and I’ve been around a long time. I came here the first time in 1981, and it’s always been Charlotte Motor Speedway to me.”
    SO YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THE 5 CAR IN 2011? “Yes.”(Team Chevy)(5-25-2010)
