	I just saw this on NASCAR.com. They are saying the deal with Mark is a 2 year deal. I thought is was only one year. I wonder what that will mean for Brad?

	Wow, I never imagined Mark being a Hendrick driver, but then again, I always thought he'd be in a Ford. No matter what he will always be my favorite. It's the man, not the car or owner, that I pull for and Mark has always been the best guy. Go Mark!!!!

	I could maybe see someone with an ego at HMS but certainly not Mark. If he didn`t have one at Roush near the end I wouldn`t see him having one at HMS.

	If he didn`t have one at Roush near the end I wouldn`t see him having one at HMS.Vol, did you ever wonder why he left? He saw Matt win a championship, He saw Kurt win a championship and he just kept finishing further and further back. Good excuse was to retire, then Ginn ask him to drive and he agrees to drive part time. why not drive part time at Roush? or at least with a Roush satelitte team? I'm sure Ford, who helped him get his dealership in Arkansas, is happy that he has been driving a chevy. All Drivers have an ego, some just show it more than others.

	Glad to see that gold digging wench Teresa lose another driver to Hendrick. I think it is hilarious!!!! However I really I'm sick of Mark Martin I'm retired no wait I'm not o I'm make up your damn mind!!!!!!!! I can't really stand Mark anymore so don't really care about this the only reason I like it is it hurts TEI I think!!!!! It should be called that because there is no Dale there anymore she destroyed that legacy. Did Truex decide to resign with her yet I hope he gives her the finger. I really like Martin a lot he became my second favorite driver next to Junior last year, but I'm afraid he is another talent wasted on that team like Junior was. I wish Hendrick would of went after Truex? Or even I know this might have been crazy, but Tony Stewart maybe?

	But Mark also felt he wasn't getting treated as well as the other drivers (equipment wise), so that argument that it was about him being jealous about Kenseth and Kurt Busch becomes invalid. He had a reason to be annoyed.

	Why am I even wasting my time debating this crap? Mark Martin is the best thing that could have happened to Hendrick Motorsports. I couldn't ask for a better driver coming to the team next year and he'll be a great addition and finally get a last chance to win a championship and maybe get that Daytona 500. There's going to be no problems with Mark Martin joining the team. It's laughable that anyone would think Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson or Dale Earnhardt Jr. would start to become jealous of Mark Martin being on their team or getting some attention or vice versa. It's just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Stupid to even be sitting here arguing this topic. I feel like this is last year all over again, arguing my reasoning why Dale Jr. wouldn't be a problem at all and I was right then.

	Deedsy I don't understand. Mark himself has said DEI has given him the best equipment he has ever had. Maybe it was DEIs choice not to offer him a full time ride so that they could continue on with their plan to bring Aric up to full time. Why in the world would they want to set back their program a year? Makes good business sense to me and BTW,
