Mark Martin makes his feelings known as fans get nostalgic about his classic NASCAR paint scheme

Former NASCAR driver Mark Martin reacted to a fan's wholesome comment on his Winn Dixie car that he drove in the Busch Series (now called the Xfinity Series). The special paint scheme featured black paint with a yellow #60 decal.

NASCAR Classics recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), asking fans which was their favorite livery that raced in the Xfinity Series through history. The post showcased four cars, including Mark Martin's iconic Winn Dixie car. As mentioned, it featured black as the primary color. It was an instant eye-catcher on the grid and was loved by fans all the times it was driven.

Under the post, a fan wrote about witnessing the car live during a race.

"I once saw him drive that car when it was so loose that I wondered how he would hold onto it on pit road. But at full speed it ran like a scalded dog. Just buried the field."

Reacting to this comment, Martin said that was "just the way" he liked to drive the Ford. Martin wrote:

"Just the way I liked it ⚡️💨"

Martin was sponsored by the supermarket chain Winn Dixie between 1993 and 2000. During the first year of his sponsorship, the logo was prominently featured on his Ford Thunderbird. It then carried over to the Taurus.
