A top NASCAR racer had one of his cars stolen during a trip through central Ohio. Someone stole Mark Martin's No. 6 car and it hasn't been seen since, WCMH-TV in Columbus reported. The stock car, worth $250,000, was stolen last week at the Holiday Inn in Pickerington. Martin's batman car was inside a racing trailer when someone stole the Ford F-150 and the trailer hitched to it.Police said the thieves may not have even known that the racing car was inside."Unless you're a race fan, or a race car driver, you wouldn't have any purpose for this, and the trailer isn't marked, so they could have just been stealing the truck and the trailer, not even knowing the car was in there," said Cmdr. Steve Annette, of Pickerington police.Martin is the NASCAR racer known to some for driving the Viagra car. He wasn't in Columbus when the racing car, a show car, was stolen.The car was on its way to Akron for a display."Maybe (the thieves) were a racing team that had a small race car and (they) wanted parts. Well (they) got some good parts," Annette said.
