NASCAR driver Mark Martin utilized 5,200 sq. ft. of Dri-Design® wall panels to upgrade the appearance of his new pre-engineered building. Located at the Spruce Creek Fly-In Community in Port Orange, FL, the unique building serves as headquarters for Mark Martin Enterprises as well as the hanger for Martin’s airplane.
The patented Dri-Design® Wall Panel System is an affordable dry joint, pressure-equalized rainscreen system.
Installing Dri-Design panels on a new pre-engineered building is becoming more commonplace according to Dri-Design president Brad Zeeff. “We used the pre-engineered, packaged building as the substrate for our panels. The sub girts were attached over the siding panels and fastened through the siding into the structural steel. This is really an economical way to give an industrial building a Class A appearance.”
Martin personally designed the facility. According to Benny Ertel, business manager for Mark Martin Enterprises, “The sleek, contemporary look is definitely in keeping with the high tech sport that auto racing has become.”
Installation of the 24” x 24” Kynar Silver Metallic panels was done by Dri-Design’s own installers.
Martin, the driver of the No. 01 U.S. Army Car owned by Ginn Racing, lives near Spruce Creek and travels from race to race on his private jet. 2007 is Martin’s 25th year in the Nextel Cup Series and 21st year as a full-time driver.
Dri-Design panels can be made from a variety of materials including painted aluminum, zinc, copper and stainless steel. Panels are available in any Kynar color in both standard and custom sizes.
