NILES - On Sunday, Mark Martin will have a little extra "power" as he tours the track at Michigan International Speedway in the "Batman Begins 400."
Martin will once again be sporting the Batman logo, this time for the movie which opened this week.
Martin drove the Pfizer/Batman Ford in last year's GFS Marketplace 400.
Martin is in his final year of full-time NEXTEL Cup racing.
The veteran Roush driver talked with the media Tuesday afternoon during a telephone conference.
Martin touched on a number of things, including his success at Michigan.
Martin has four wins, 14 top fives and 25 top 10 finishes, which is the best among current drivers.
Martin said his retirement party is going well.
One of the hot topics on the circuit is who is going to replace Martin in the No. 6 Viagra car next season.
When asked if he could be convinced to be the guy, Martin said there was no way.
While Martin will be driving with the Batman logo, the Batmobile will be the pace car in Sundays Batman Begins 400.
The Batmobile will also be on display all weekend at the race track.
Tickets are still available, but going fast for this weekend's events.
