Mark Martin to drive full schedule in 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Mark Martin will drive a full Sprint Cup schedule for Hendrick Motorsports in 2010.
The 50-year-old Martin signed a two-year contract with Hendrick last summer, but the second year originally was to be a partial schedule. It will be Martin's 22nd full season at NASCAR's top level.
He will keep his seat in the No. 5 Chevrolet. Martin drove that car to a win at Phoenix last month that made him the third oldest NASCAR winner in history.
Martin's decision likely will impact Brad Keselowski's future with the team. Keselowski, who has a developmental deal with Hendrick, wants to race a full Cup schedule in 2010, but Hendrick does not have an open seat available.
In his fifth career start, Keselowski got his first Cup win two weeks ago at Talladega.

Re: Mark Martin to drive full schedule in 2010
I think Brad Keselowski would be a better fit at Hendrick. It's time for Mark Martin to enjoy the Grandkids, and watch from his rocking chair...

Been a while since he announced his retirement, the money must be to good. If it was me, I would get out while I could.
