Mark Martin said Tuesday he doesnt plan to drive the #55 Toyota after this season. ‘My goal is to make this car one of the most wanted rides in NASCAR for 2014’ Martin said Tuesday. ‘I want to help [crew chief] Rodney Childers get there and see him race for a championship.” Martin still can race for a championship this year at age 54 “ an owners championship. He is driving 25 of 36 Cup events this year, sharing the ride again this season with Brian Vickers and team owner Michael Waltrip. But Martin wouldnt say if his driving career would end after this season. ‘Its way too early to speculate on that’ Martin said. ‘I really enjoy working at Michael Waltrip Racing. Ill be around no matter what. But I want to do everything I can to get this team in position to race for a [drivers] championship in 2014.” Martin also would not speculate on who might drive the car in 2014, but Vickers is an obvious candidate.( ESPN )
