With every hobbling step, it It displays his famous focus and intensity, with no sign revealing signs of the apparent pain. The Ford No. 6 driver makes it to his destination slowly but without breaking stride. As others have seen this season, most notably in the last three Winston Cup races, Martin never lets pain get in the way. Despite suffering extensive injuries during a practice-session wreck at Daytona on July 2, Martin has not missed any time on the track.

I'm going to drive the car and do a good job. Not only has Martin continued to stay behind the wheel, he also has been able to stay around the top of the Winston Cup points standings.

There are a lot of people who drive hurt.
