Maybe a different picture should be used for the lead; the Auto Club one does not look too flattering

Page layout

I began working on this page yesterday, trying to expand Martin's NASCAR section. At first I wanted to divide it so each year would have its own subsection, but after looking at other drivers' page layouts and realizing how repetitive the reading may be, I've decided to divide it so that several years will be covered at once (i.e instead of 1988 and 1989 being separate subsections, I'll make one subsection entitled "1988-1989" since they were just two seasons during his Stroh's Light era). I don't have time to finish it up right now anymore, but I'll hopefully finish it up either tomorrow or the day after. -- JakePlummerFan 06:27, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The whole anime thing

I remember looking at this article a few weeks ago and finding out that Mark was an avid watcher of anime. I was like, "Well, that's interesting." But I also thought that doesn't sound correct. Sure enough, I looked through the page today, and the anime part of his "Personal life" section is gone. Very funny in my opinion. 2607:FB91:173D:8318:AC39:5FF7:9AF4:4B6E (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
