'Survivor' winner's wedding gift: Martin as his best man
Associated Press
Published February 14, 2005
DAYTONA BEACH - Mark Martin spent Sunday morning serving as the honorary best man in the wedding of Survivor: Vanuatu winner Chris Daugherty and Lorie Groves.
Daugherty is a self-professed Martin fan and wanted to be married in Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway.
"You don't pass up an opportunity to get married at Daytona, especially in Victory Lane," Daugherty said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Martin found the ceremony amusing, but said he doubted his wife, Arlene, would have gone for it.
"It would be fun for me, but I am not sure Arlene would have gone for it," Martin said. "It shows you the commitment that the fans have to the sport and the love they have for racing."
