I have to say how much I appreciate Mark Martin and what he's done for the team and the friendship and the respect and the competition he's brought ... He's made me step my game up, be a better race car driver.
My equipment is just as good, but I am not as good as Jimmie Johnson
It was such an incredible I have to say how much I appreciate Mark Martin and what he's done for the team and the friendship and the respect and the competition he's brought ... He's made me step my game up, be a better race car driver.
This might have been the hardest one to win that we picked but I am so proud of this team and so glad I got to drive this car ... And I don’t know what next year will bring but we will dig deep and whether we do better, or worse, or the same — we are going to be looking for more and we will see if we ca...
I think Mark Martin is only going to get better in his second year with Hendrick Motorsports
I have come to realize that I'm not Dale Earnhardt ... And when you stand me up against Jeff Gordon ... it just don't stand up to it. I gave them something to shoot at in the race from time to time.

We operated on our own ... Look at the standings now and there are three Rick Hendrick teams (Johnson, Mark Martin and Gordon) at the top, and they share information. More power to them; that's the way racing is these days. But it's not the same. It's like I told Jeff Gordon after he won his fifth South...
It's so good to see Bobby Allison here ... I owe a part of what I do today to Bobby.
People think he has the best equipment and all he has to do is point the car ... There's more to it than that. Look who he's beating. He's beating Jeff Gordon. He's beating Mark Martin.
We've still got to go to Homestead and run our best because you never know ... Realistically, we're battling for second. I definitely have been beat by the best for these Cup titles — Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt. It wouldn't embarrass me if it was Jimmie Johnson as well.
He's too humble of a man, and doesn't understand what he's done in this sport, for this sport, how many young guys have respected what he's done ... Coming up through ASA, everybody knew who Mark Martin was. I aspired at that time to have people speak of me as they did you. When I came to race in the Bu...

We'll keep pushing to be better and to try to be where the No. 48 (Jimmie Johnson) team and the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) team and the No. 5 (Mark Martin) team and all these great race teams that we're competing against and that we're racing for points.
We've still got to go to Homestead and run like this again, because we still have heat behind us, Jeff Gordon, especially
If Mark Martin joins our organization, it will make all of us better ... And he has made all of us better. I don't know how this guy hasn't won a championship.
Obviously, the performance of (Johnson) has been phenomenal and we have given it a good fight, but we haven't quite matched their performance, although we gave him a pretty good run until Martinsville and Charlotte
I won this race last year ... and defending that victory would put a positive spin on the season. And I’m sure Mark Martin would like to see a ‘positive spin’ as well, which in his case would be another early wreck by Jimmie Johnson.
I think an updated version of a Led Zeppelin classic is in order after what happened to Jimmie Johnson
I figured out that only Mark Martin can drive forever—and I can’t
We can't say that one race changed everything. Did we close in on Jimmie (at Texas)? Yes ... But that doesn't mean that the whole Chase has changed. We're going to keep doing what we've done every race week: try to win. That's all I can do, and that's all this team can do. We aren't in control of anythi...
