LONG POND, Pa. - Mark Martin refuses to answer any questions about where, if anywhere, he could be running a partial Nextel Cup schedule next year.
He's a longtime Ford driver. Robert Yates Racing is a longtime Ford team. Yates and Roush Racing, which Martin has driven for in his entire Cup career, work together on motors. Yates needs drivers for next season.
So ... could one of those Yates drivers be Martin? Martin said he didn't think so.
"A bunch of people need drivers right now, not just Yates," Martin said. "We'll have to see what happens. We probably won't get into that until October or November, probably November most likely.
"I'm not going to answer any questions. I'm not going to go there. It's not something on my radar screen. I've got more important things to think about than what I am going to do next year right now."
Martin could not drive for Roush next year unless he splits the season with one of the current drivers or Todd Kluever, who is scheduled to replace Martin in the No. 6 car since Roush is not allowed to add any teams.
While Martin is penciled in to run an entire NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule for Roush next year, he was not going to jump into the middle of the silly season media barrage and get caught up into talking about what teams he would consider for 2007.
