52 Pickup Racing Presents: Ask The Crew Chief

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Boogertown, North Carolina)

Earlier last week 52 Pickup Racing opened up its social media channels to questions for Mark Martinez, crew chief of the Monday Cigarettes race car.  Here’s three:


“Hi Mark—I know the performance of the car probably isn’t what you expected, but have there been any positives so far this year?” —Jeff Horn, Screen Printer (Rochester, New York)

“Well, there’s been a few bright spots this year, like avoiding DNFs (Did Not Finishes) and keeping the car out of the wall.  But we’re building steadily towards the future, and with a lot of hard work and a little luck, we can see a top-twenty-five finish on the horizon” —Mark


“What do you think T.B. Dee (driver of the Monday Cigarettes race car) can do to improve this year?” —Sam Tackett, Mortician (Hot Springs, Arkansas).

“There’s plenty of little things that T.B. can do—hit his marks in the turns more regularly, be more alert on restarts, but the most-important thing he can do is easy—go faster.  And that’s why I’m here—to tell him that repeatedly.” —Mike


“Mark, did you have a talk with T.B. about not spinning the tires when leaving the pit stall?  I mean, those tires are pretty (darn) expensive.” —Bobby Messenger, Day Trader and 52 Pickup Racing co-owner (Charlotte, North Caorlina).

“Yes, Bobby, its being taken care of.” —Mark


QUOTES: “Mark Martinez is a real asset to the team.  I mean, who else is going to remind me every single lap to go fast?” —T.B. Dee, driver of the 52 Pickup Racing Monday Cigarettes race car.


“The 52 Pickup Racing race car has shown…improvement and there is…hope for the future.” —“Chito” Segui, Racing Prospectus.
