Martin is all that DEI has right now that is consistent and competitive week in and out. He should either race full time or move on. 2. Without a doubt he could compete for another championship. 3. About like Paul Menard, maybe a little higher finisher. 4. No. Not with the talent and ability he still possesses. Age is not a factor when talking about Martin, it just doesnt affect him in a negative manner. 1. Martin is all that DEI has right now that is consistent and competitive week in and out.

I agree that it's good for DEI to have Martin still on board for the no. 8 team, but I don't agree with Martin running 24 of the races, leaving Almirola only 12 while not running any other series. 2. I think he'd still be able to make the Chase, but I don't think he'd hold a legit shot at the title. 3. I think he'll probably hang out around 25th in points. It's gonna be a few good years before I think he can really do anything too noteworthy. 4. Only if he's ready. 1.

Yes I think it is. RevJim and roc hit it on the head about being a mentor and teaching the young guys. This season I think it's just what DEI needed, it helped in the transition away from Jr. 2. Yes I think he would. He runs well at every track on the circuit. 3. The kid has talent, but I think he'll struggle some. It's not like he's coming up after a lot of success in Nationwide and Craftsman. Still a steep learning curve for him. 4. No I'd rather see him go full-time ride... 1. Yes I think it is.

He's good for the sport and good for his team. It would be nice to have a "young Gun" with this guy's talent and this guy's character.

Not only does Martin make a great mentor for the younger drivers, but he is also almost guaranteed a sponsorship. The car will also stay up far enough in owner points that a rookie or trainee driving it can concentrate on racing more than qualifying. That also helps the rest of the team, as they don't have to use a special qualifying set up just to make the field. 2. No doubt in my mind that he could 3. I bet he wishes he had stayed with Gibbs for one more year, so he could have more seat time, even if it is in the Nationwide Series. He could have been gaining more experience on the tracks rather than sitting on the pit box. Still, he has seemed like a quick study to me, and I think he could stay well within the top twenty if he had a full rookie season. 4. I'm with roc on this one. I think as long as he is competitive, it is good for racing and for the fans to have him there. He is still one of the best drivers ever, he doesn't race for points, so a win is his first priority every race, and it is still quite a rush to watch him race. 1.

Having a driver like martin in your garage is always a good thing he can teach these young guys a lot that is what they brought him in for. 2. Yes, I think he still has it he's shown it i just don't think he wants to be there all 36 races is it kinda crap for the young guys but having him run the majority of the races keeps a car in the top 35 for next year are when ever the young guns take over the ride full time. 3. I'm not mark so there for i can't make that call he still is competive not like some of the other older guys who the only factors they play are the cautions they bring out when they reck so till he fells like he is done are can't drive worth a crap anymore I like see Mark at the track he is a class act. There are more drivers that need to retire before him one comes from our home area. 1.
