With ARCA racer Daniel Dye this weekend, NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin will play a new role.
Despite being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2017, Martin, a 40-time Cup Series champion, has continued to compete in amateur racing.
In a Super Late Model race this weekend at Mission Valley Super Oval in Polson, Montana, Martin, 63, has consented to act as Dye’s crew chief.
The No. 43 car belonging to the current ARCA West series winner crew chief Travis Sharpe will be driven by Dye, a regular in the ARCA Menards Series.
“It’s pretty special to have the chance to learn from and work with one of the greatest drivers of all time,” Dye said of Martin. “I know Travis Sharpe will bring us a fast car, and Mark will keep us dialed in.
“Mission Valley Super Oval is a track I had not seen until now but it looks like a really fun place to race, and I can’t wait to get there.”
Said Martin: “I’m really excited about teaming up with Daniel Dye and Travis Sharpe for the Montana 200. I’ve had my eye on Daniel for a while, and believe we can be a contender for this prestigious event.”
Sharpe was Dye’s crew chief in a car driven by Bill McAnnally when the two first worked together in the ARCA West event at Portland International Raceway earlier this month.
Dye placed fourth and took the pole for the competition.
“I knew I had to work with Daniel again after how well we ran at Portland, so the fact that the stars lined up for us to do the biggest race of the year at my home track was just awesome,” Sharpe said.
“And we’re all excited to have Mark Martin work with us.”
