Martin steals the showWritten By: Matt "Night" Rider
LAS VEGAS, NV.- Nascar owners, drivers, and their respective teams packed the Wynn Ballroom for the 2009 Nascar Awards Ceremony. The night belonged to Jimmie Johnson, who collected his earnings (6.6 million) for an amazing season, which saw him win his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup Series Championship.
Various drivers and owners spoke about their year in Nascar, but the speech of the night came from an unlikely source in some eyes. After two years of running a limited Nascar program, Mark Martin (Upper Left) returned this past season with a vengence, racing the No. 5 for Hendrick Motorsports.
As Martin took the stage, the crowd came to a silence, only to hear one of the most memorable Nascar Ceremony speeches ever given . Martin stole the show, reflecting upon one heck of a Nascar run to the Championship this past season. Th e Nascar legend collected a total of five victories on his quest to the Cup.
Mark continued his speech by noting a little bit about the unending value of quality time that he was able to spend with his various crew members, along with his own family. You can never replace quality time with your family. This is just one of the many valuable lessons that Martin displayed throughout an unforgettable 2009 run to the Championship.
