Martin adds three races to Nextel Cup slate
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Mark Martin added three races to his schedule on Tuesday, pushing his total to 26 events in 2007.
Martin, running a partial schedule for Ginn Racing, tacked on races at Pocono, Richmond and Dover.
"The three races we've added are tracks where I typically enjoy racing," he said. "We were already set to run the first race at those tracks and now we'll look forward to going back for a second time."
The Batesville, Ark., native has raced in eight of the 11 Nextel Cup events this season and is ranked 15th in the season standings — ahead of 18 drivers who have competed in all of the races. The No. 01 Chevrolet, driven by Regan Smith when Martin is out of the car, is ranked sixth in owner points.
Martin, who will be in Saturday night's all-star race, will drive the next five Cup events before turning the wheel over to Smith for the June 24 race in Sonoma, Calif.
