Martin says he’s still not a full-timer

Thirteen races into the season, Mark Martin remains in position to make the Chase for the Nextel Cup, even though he’s only competed in 10 events. That ranks the veteran driver ahead of 22 drivers who have competed in all 13. Still, Martin said there’s no chance that he will decide to run the remainder of the races, this in spite of the fact that he has never won a championship. "I don’t even want to," he said, "so if I was leading, like I was when I missed my first race, I still wouldn’t. I don’t want to." Martin’s position hasn’t wavered. It’s just that people don’t seem to believe him. Gaston Gazette
