Remember the 1998 Bristol night race? That’s when the No. 6 Valvoline Ford, piloted by the ever-classy Mark Martin, put on a masterclass under the lights. But what made that victory legendary wasn’t just beating Jeff Gordon or leading 190 laps—it was Martin’s strength after losing his father and family just weeks before. A fan’s recent tribute brought those emotions flooding back, and even Martin admitted it’s still his most meaningful win. This is why fans still call him one of NASCAR’s true gentlemen. #Sports #Racing #MarkMartin
