If I was a Mark Martin fan I would've been a little miffed at his flip-flops on retirement. That said, he's still racing and winning to boot. Why would his fans be ticked off about that?
I'm not a Mark fan per se but I do have a lot of respect for him. He's one of the cleanest racers out there and is always a gentleman."You win some, lose some, and wreck some." - Dale Earnhardt

I now work between 35 and 40 hours a week for them at home and am enjoying my work very much."If you can help others, and fail to do so, your time on earth has been wasted" - Roberto Clemente

What was going on at Roush when Mark was looking at retirement was Jack wore Mark out and Mark was looking to go part time or out all together to help his son race. He couldn't give it up entirely, so he went part time. Jack delayed his "retirement" by 2 years because Jack couldn't figure a way to do without Mark.
Mark goes part time for 2 years and people whine. Last time I looked, America was a free country. You are free to change your mind, and based on the results, Mark Martin can do the job. You can kiss his @ss, because he is winning races, by smarts, guile, and skill. He may not be beating and banging on guys, but a win is a win.
Harvick. Seniorty is a union thing, yell at your union, since I believe I knew where you worked.
As for your contention those "old" guys should retire so you can keep working, try that crap out when you are 50 and see how you like it. Try finding a job at 50 coming from a blue collar job. Good luck to ya....you are young enough to get off your @ss and go get a new job. I have had to do it 3 times but I am not so damned bitter than I blame others for it, it is part of life and living..."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
