Don't be surprised if Mark walks
up to you in the Winston Cup garage
and hands you a brochure for a beautiful home that just happens to
be for sale in Daytona Beach.
No, Mark isn't moving, just selling. Real estate, that is. Mark
Martin Realty is located next to the airplane hanger that stores
much of Mark's racing equipment.
While drivers like Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett are into selling
cars, Martin prefers the real estate business. "It doesn't pose the
kind of risk some businesses do," Martin said in an interview with
the Daytona Beach News-Journal. "I'm not going to be racing 10
years from now. I need something I have a passion for."
And it doesn't hurt that he's got a business with his name attached
to it. "Obviously, the name helps, said W.G. Watts, a Realtor and
manager of the office. "We've already got people coming to us
wanting us to sell their house for them."
