Martin signs with HMS for 2009
By Sports Network
Published: Jul 04, 2008

Mark Martin will replace Casey Mears in the No.5 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports starting with the 2009 Sprint Cup Series season.

After two years of semi-retirement, Martin declared he is ready to go back racing full time. And he got a taste of what it was like to drive at Hendrick while he was preparing to substitute for Jeff Gordon in June 2007 when Gordon and his wife, Ingrid Vandebosch, were expecting their first child during the race at Sonoma, CA.

"I got my arms wrapped around the scheduling situation. I'm incredibly excited and honored," said Martin, who is well-respected and very much admired by his peers and fans.

After two years of catching my breath, I've enjoyed it. It's been meaningful to my family and to myself, but I've learned it rekindled my passion for racing." More

When the caution flag was displayed in the closing laps of the rain-shortened race, Montoya's No.42 Dodge hit Busch's No.18 Toyota from behind and put Busch in a spin.
