Mark Martin is the NASCAR Illustrated Person of the Year presented by Old Spice for 2009. Martin will officially accept the award in a prerace ceremony at the Ford 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 22.
 
NASCAR Illustrated chose to honor the 50-year-old Hendrick Motorsports driver because of his exceptional talent and extraordinary class. His return to a full schedule in 2009 underscored his ability and gave fans another chance to appreciate his humility and graciousness.

This is the third time Martin has received a Person of the Year honor – but only the first that he has been the sole honoree. He joins a list of previous recipients that includes Jeff Burton, Kyle Petty, Tony Stewart and Rusty Wallace.
 
Martin is the cover subject of the December 2009 issue of NASCAR Illustrated, which will be available on newsstands across the country the week of Nov. 24.

    Good for Mark. He had a great year and truly deserves this award. He is not who I voted for, but he would have been my second choice.

    KARNEVIL9: It's the Person of the Year award. It's not the Person Who Won the Championship of the Year award. They can be different.

    The award focuses on one person, not a team. I'm sure there are other awards in the issue and the 48 crew has undoubtedly won one or two of them.

    #6, I understand your point. However my point is.Premature? Sure,but valid none the less. How could a guy who does something that has never been done in the history of the sport not be the Person of the Year in that sport? In my mind thats should be a given.

    I guess what I'm saying is that giving this award to Martin is just another example of the total disrespect that is shown to the 48. Another slap in the face to a man who's close to accomplishing something that has never been done and never will be done again.

    I'm sure the 48 will get plenty of attention if he wins the Championship. Mark Martin deserves this one. He's been racing so long. I wonder if Johnson will make it that long? Probably not. Martin is the best driver that hasn't won the Championship. We have been over-saturated with Johnson...let us enjoy someone else's face.

    SS396Chevelle#15 - To answer your question, you spoil it for me. After reading the article and then your sour comments I don't feel like participating. Kyle Busch isn't my favorite driver, but I don't feel it necessary to write negativity about him on every post as you do. I'm thrilled for Jimmie Johnson and his wife. I would love to attend the banquet in LasVegas and join their celebration. Thanks LilMoFishing... What kind of fish do you like to catch?

    Meanwhile, on SI's site Lars Anderson makes a compelling case for why Jimmie Johnson should be SI's Sportsman of the Year, across all sports fields - and yet NASCAR Illustrated can't even bring themselves to name him their Person of the Year.

    #17 and #21, You both make excellent points. As anyone with half a brain knows. The 48 has never and will never get the credit he deserves. This country which once celebrated excellence and genius, now celebrate mediocrity. Most Nascar fans are a shining example of that. To all the 48 fans. Our day of celebration is near! To all you classless 48 haters. Your long nightmare has only just begun. The 48 is in his prime and ain't going anywhere, anytime soon.

    No, number 27, he is not in JJ's category, he is far and away ABOVE him in all categories. Had it not been for NA$CAR's hatred of the Fords, Mark would have had a couple championships a long time ago. - - - You obviously are a newcomer who has little or no knowledge of the history of NASCAR. - - - I do agree that JJ is TRYing to emulate Mark, in his workouts, etc., but still not close their either. . . . MY only gripe with Mark is he had to defect to the Chevorlevits instead of staying with the tried and true FORDS. . . . BUT I still like Mark and am looking forward to him getting the title, MAYBE even this year yet. I am working at it in my Fantasy picks that sure worked last week, and most of the season for Busch.

Keep in mind, while perhaps unlikely at this point, he could still win the championship this year and I hope he does. PS Some of you people really need to get a life....

    I thought that this was about Mark Martin, but a lot of you have to bring up JJ. So I'll put in my 2 cents worth. First off I don't have anything against JJ, but it is getting boring the same guy getting the championship every year. Especially knowing that his crew chief is the biggest cheater out there. Now for all of you fluffing your feathers, do you really think that JJ would be where he is if it wasn't for Chad? Without Chad I surmise that JJ would be an ok driver but not where he is. Ok, that's my 2 cents worth. Congrats, Mark. Hope you win Sunday.
