Rick Martin ‘just kept at it,’ and now he’s entering Year 51 at Seekonk Speedway

“Me and one of my friends bought a $50 car and went out there,” Martin said. “The other cars went by us so fast, I thought to myself, ‘I ain’t never gonna go that fast, I’m going to just quit now.’

“But I just kept at it, kept at it, and I guess it was the challenge that I enjoyed.”
