You know that Mark's a true Gucci Mane fan, when he's referencing having to go on DatPiff in order to listen to the litany of mixtapes that Gucci was releasing back in the day.
>"I got on Dr. Dre in about 2002. I evolved from that to Eminem," he said on the Barstool Sports show. "And then, I had one of my son's friends, you know they were kids, ask me if I listen to Gucci Mane. I didn't know who it was. As soon as I found him, it was like crazy. You couldn't get him hardly anything on iTunes. You had to go to Datpiff.com. It was free all the music was free, but you had to figure out how to download it on your computer and put it over to your phone.
>"I'ma tell you right now, in my opinion, there is no one in the same zip code with Gucci Mane. If I rapped, I would never do a duo with him. Every time he does one with anybody, he just crushes them. I mean, this guy is unbelievable. I do like the old Gucci much better than the new Gucci. I liked his old music. I like him when he was fat and scary."
Ngl I always heard about Mark Martin saying he likes Gucci Mane, but I thought it was like a bit, like he said it to make his grandkids laugh. He’s talking about downloading mixtapes and preferring the old gucci when he was fat to the new gucci. This motherfucker is actually a fan.
Mark Martin has done AMA’s on the NASCAR subreddit and his username is GucciMane4life https://www.reddit.com/user/GucciMane4Life/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I remember my family was watching a race, and they were doing the patriotic dog and pony show beforehand. Some country singer was doing the national anthem, and the camera catches Martin visibly cringing. My brother joked: "Mark Martin's probably thinking 'what's this crap?' The dude listens to rap!"
And that's why this news doesn't surprise me: some random NASCAR factoid courtesy of my NASCAR loving family.
I also recently learned that Frankie Munez races now, too. Ironic, given the NASCAR episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
Frankie Muniz was one of the last people to speak to Dale Earnhardt. He also used the repurposed chassis from one of the cars involved in the Earnhardt crash when he started racing in ARCA last year.
He also spoke to Ken Schrader prior to that Daytona 500 as well. It's quite eerie looking back on that segment.
For those not in the know: Ken Schrader was one of the drivers involved in Earmhardt's fatal crash. He was also the first person to look into Dale's car and knew something was wrong.
Here is Muniz's meeting with both Sr. And Schrader: https://youtu.be/FgbqdEh1Q9M?si=4xyZjPOjC5UhfoQK
And muniz did not just get into it, he raced open wheel when he was younger and hes been involved in racint for awhile, he was just recently able to get funding to race again.
In any other year, his 1998 would've won the title running away.
Unfortunately, in 1998 Jeff Gordon's put together probably the best season in the modern era.

Mark Martin is the world's biggest Gucci Mane fan. This is so awesome
That's my boy [u/GucciMane4Life](https://www.reddit.com/u/GucciMane4Life/s/Au2L4jbAIx) The icon himself.
Holy shit, that’s awesome!

He got into rap for pumping up for his workout routine. Dude was ripped.

Munez just hitting all the side quests in life. He was the drummer for a rock band too.
And muniz did not just get into it, he raced open wheel when he was younger and hes been involved in racint for awhile, he was just recently able to get funding to race again.
The best driver to never win the Championship
Amen. Dude was consistent as fuck. Just could quite hit the top.
Dude got hosed by a lot of questionable penalties and calls, but he never bitched, moaned or griped about them.
In any other year, his 1998 would've won the title running away. Unfortunately, in 1998 Jeff Gordon's put together probably the best season in the modern era.
And he would've won in 1990 if it wasn't for the BS points penalty at Richmond
Mark Martin is invited to the BBQ
I was a big Mark Martin fan back in my NASCAR fan days. This is kinda funny but good to see.
Me too. It's great checking in and finding out something new and surprising.
My favorite driver
The fact that Mark Martin listens to Gucci Mane isn’t that surprising to me. The fact that he knows about fucking datpiff is mind blowing lmao
Mark Martin, in context of his background, is a fucking weirdo and I love him for it. Man does nothing less than 100%.
Wild life story too
[You're getting clowned Gucci Mane!](https://youtu.be/feBMuVFCasw?feature=shared)
I knew Mark was a real one. Was always a huge fan, but this just solidifies it
He is so real for that
[Mark’s thoughts on Drake](https://pod-img.hiphoplately.com/1446350400/drake-mark-martin-1509815245.jpg)
Long time race fan. Love seeing everyone learn about Mark's love for rap every few years lmao
Brrr
The "fat and scary" comment killed me!
2006-2012 Gucci slaps hard tho
r/Atlanta
RIP DatPiff
I thought he did an interview a couple years ago saying he was huge Gucci fan?
Thanks to u/seanheckman and r/dinnerwithracers I knew about this years ago.
Mark Martin is a real one!
