Breaking News: Martin to drive in Hendrick’s #5 car
Written by Scott Keller · July 4, 2008
Just a week after Hendrick Motorsports announced that Casey Mears will not return as their drive of their #5 Chevy, the super-team revealed today that Mark Martin will replace Mears and run a full schedule in 2009.
The News-Press: Martin to drive for Hendrick
This is an interesting move by Hendrick who has a tendency to hire “young guns”, but clearly Martin has delivered results in his long run in NASCAR. Martin has finished second in the Cup championship several times, but this move to Hendrick gives him another dream shot.
So what do you think? Is this a good move by Hendrick? Does Martin still have what it takes to win a championship? How will this effect the chemistry at Hendrick?

Mark Martin is a class act and will bring alot of knowledge to HMS. Look for the 5 car to make the chase next year with the other 3 HMS cars.
