Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start his 400th cup race at the Daytona 500. He says 400 doesn't seem like much.
Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin says, "It's not."
Asks Earnhardt: "How many starts do you have, like 4,000?"
Mark Martin turned 52 this month. He's fit. Guy has the body fat of a wooden plank.
But if you didn't know how old Martin was, your first comment and question, based on his appearance, might be: "Mark, you've been around a long time. I'd to ask you about your first NASCAR race. What was it like to look at the car next to you and see Junior Johnson?"
That Earnhardt last name has really gotten Dale jr much further than his talent and dedication would.
