Mark Martin to run the #25 in the All-Star Race

[Burhead]

Farmers Insurance signed on as the primary sponsor for five races (All-Star Race, Kansas, Pocono, Infineon, and Bristol). Going to be weird not seeing him in the #5 though.

That is weird. This is the first time I've heard of a driver changing car numbers for a special event. Pretty cool though. Good tribute to Tim Richmond.

 

[Burhead]

Yeah, I don't think this has happened.

Looks like it may happen with Johnson too. Jayski says that Jimmie may run the #5 car for some kinda 5% off promotion from Lowe's.

This makes no sense at all...

Kinda weird.....but I can dig it

It doesn't when you consider 5 was Hendricks first number. Called Group 5 with Geoff Bodine.
