Hal Martin: U.S. Forensic Sponsored Richmond International Raceway Post-Race

“I am so very proud that I got the opportunity to represent U.S. Forensic this past weekend” Martin replied. “After graduating from the University of New Orleans in 2009, being able to work for U.S. Forensic was a wonderful expereince. I learned so much about so many different facets of mechanical engineering. My bosses, Gary Bell and Mike DeHarde, in the New Orleans office were so patient with me as a new engineer and were also very supportive of my aspirations of becoming a NASCAR Nationwide Series driver. Being able to have their logo all over my race car was an honor. I just wish we had a stronger finish for them.”

Martin stated “I love participating in Toyota’s at track events. Interacting with the NASCAR Nationwide Series fans is an honor and a privilege. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing.” Martin added, “During my interview, I made sure to stress to the younger fans the importance of pursing your dreams as well as your education. In this day and age, being college educated is so very important. Although driving in the NASCAR Nationwide Series is my job now, I know that I can always fall back on my education and pursue mechanical engineering again. In college, I learned so much about life, it’s not just all about what was taught in the classroom. It’s a valuable experience on so many levels.”
