D1 lost two great .90 racers yesterday

I have spoken with Marty’s daughter Tracy over the past few days, most of the 10.90 and Mid Atlantic .90 Regulars knew her because she would come to hang out with her parents when they raced at Cecil County.

She told me that when we get back to the track Her and Chris will be putting something together to honor both Marty & Joanne. I’m sure Tommy D or Chris D will make it a mission to get Marty’s car there to maybe make one last pass in his honor.

I also spoke with Joe Cambria who was one of Steve’s close friends and they pretty much tagged along to every race. He said that he will also like to do something in Steves honor and have a toast in Steve’s honor at the first race.

Of course with this quarantine, we can’t do much right now but, we will keep everyone posted as far as things go. We’ll keep you all updated!!

RIP Marty!
I did not know him real well however I did speak to him many times at D1 races. One of the nicest people you could meet and at the same time one of the fiercest competitors you could go up against.
He will be missed!

Sorry I never met Mr. Martel. I knew Marty pretty well. Both drivers will be missed. It's a shame we have to lose our friends.
