Former Nascar Cup series, Mark Martin, recently shared his reflections on Ernie Ivan's comeback 30 years ago, after a tragic incident. Martin re -published a Nascar Classics publication and praised Irvan for his passion for races and called him “one of the worst mofos”.
The 1991 Daytona Daytona champion made its first appearance in the Cup in 1987 and led the number 56 Chevy for Reno Enterprise as a part -time pilot. He then landed a full -time seat in the series with the United States Racing in 1989 and piloted #2 Pontiac. Irvan has worked with several teams during his career and faced an accident that can endanger his life while competing for Robert Yates Racing.
Ernie Irvan landed a seat with Robert Yates' team in 1994 after Davey Allison died in a helicopter accident in 1993. The first 20 races of the season went well and Irvan won three wins and 13 best fifty. However, things went down to the 21st race at Michigan International Speedway. During the internship session, Irvan's Ford Thunderbird cut a tire, finally finding the wall.
After that, the former Yates' Race driver made a bad state and could have died at the site. He suffered a brain injury, a fracture of the skull and chest injuries. However, after the traumatic incident, Irvan came up on October 1, 1995 in North Wilkesboro Speedway. Competed against Mark Martin during the race. Remembering the race, he stated:
“One of the worst mofos I have run with. I can only imagine what I would have achieved if his career had not been reduced.”
Mark Martin ranked second for the race, driving the Ford #6 for Rush Racing with a better time of 19,011 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 118,353 mph. On the other hand, Ernie Irvan started his degree from seventh place while driving Ford #88 for Robert Yates Racing. Ultimately, Martin won the 400 -laps race.
“It's fair,” he won, he is inside. “That's all you talk”: Mark Martin in the current playoff format
Earlier this year, previous Hind Driver Mark Martin sat with Shannon Spake for an interview. During the Spake Up Podcast on YouTube, he expressed his views on the current playoff format and shared his concerns about qualification metrics.
Fans paid close attention to the current playoff format after Team Penske Pilot Joey Logano won his third championship last year. The current format has a removal system with four drivers eliminated after each round until only four are competing in the Four Championship race in Phoenix.
Reflecting it, Mark Martin wants to return the full season of old school points of school to the Cup series to declare the winner. He explained:
“In some ways, to make victory more important than ever the importance of winning. But it is fair,” he won, that's it. “
