Mark Martin, Brian Vickers and Michael Waltrip will continue to share the driving duties in Michael Waltrip Racing’s #55 Toyota in 2013. MWR announced Friday that Martin will drive in 24 NASCAR Sprint Cup points races, plus the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona and the All-Star race in Charlotte. Waltrip’s three races include the July Daytona race plus both Talladega races. Vickers ‘ nine races include all the Bristol, Martinsville, New Hampshire and road course events, as well as the Kentucky Speedway race. ‘I love my schedule and I love our lineup,’ said 40-time winner Martin whose four poles in 2012 equal the most of any driver. ‘Brian has a tremendous amount of experience and talent for such a young driver and you saw at Talladega that Michael Waltrip is as good as anyone in a restrictor plate race.’ Martin and Waltrip will continue to drive the Aaron’s Dream Machine paint scheme in 2013 while sponsorship for six of Vickers ‘ nine races is available.(MWR)(10-26-2012)
