Yes Mark Martin will be driving in 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup races for Michael Waltrip Racing in 2012, and yes he will be sponsored by Aaron's. He will not, however, be driving the #00.
Michael Waltrip, and Aaron's CEO Ken Butler, announced yesterday that the Toyota Mark Martin will pilot will switch to the #55 for the next two years. The number holds significance for both Waltrip and Aaron's.
Waltrip raced the #55 in 2006 for Bill Davis Racing, and then used the number for the first three years of MWR's existence.
Aaron's, which has grown from 400 stores to more than 1900 currently since teaming up with Waltrip in 2000, actually got it's start in 1955.
The Aaron's sponsorship will only be on the #55 for the 25 race Martin will compete in and the 7 that Waltrip will see action in. The remaining races on the 2012 Sprint Cup schedule will be filled with an as- yet named driver, and sponsors.
