That is one hell of a driver lineup. You've got the most dominant driver from 1995-2001, the 2-time defending Champ, the most popular driver and a driver who has finished 2nd in points 4 times.
Well done Mr. Hendrick, well done.
Jr is a 2-time Busch Champion and a 2-time Busch Series Owner Champion.
Add that and it gives it even more spice. HeHe

I recall Mark Martin saying that he wanted to move back to Arkansas and spend more time with his family. As a matter of fact he said that his move from Daytona to Arkansas was a done deal. Then yesterday one of the media guys, I think it was Larry Mac, mentioned that Mark still lives in Spruce Creek.
What happened to all the plans from two years ago?

He suffers from Favre-Jordan Syndrome, he doesn't know when to retire and then eventually overstays his welcome.

No it wasn't, but Junior did operate a team called Chance 2 Motorsports. It fielded Truex's car in 2004 and 2005, his two championship seasons.
Chance 2 Motorsports would later become Junior Motorsports.

Chance 2 was owned by both Dale Jr. and Teresa Earnhardt, then all the personnel including Truex Jr. moved up to Cup in 2006; JR Motorsports has no relation other than Dale Jr. has/had ownership of both of them.

According to racingreference.com and NASCAR, DEI owned the cars that Martin drove during his 2 championship seasons.

Plans change, circumstances change. I don't think any of us has any right whatsoever to judge Mark. He has earned the right to do whatever he wants.
Personally I like it when people show flexibility, willingness and courage to change direction mid-stream.
