Marlin Defies Slowing Down My NASCAR Comeback Claim
Silver Streak Sterling Marlin dismisses slowing down claims and aims for victory lane and a continued Cup Championship run this year. The 47 year old veteran, who last won March 17, 2002 at Darlington, has 11 Cup victories since 1994, and credits early breaks and his late father with launching his career. He says he plans to sit with Chip Ganassi by May or June to map out his future, believes his team with Steve Boyer can win, and emphasizes improving pit efficiency to seize opportunities.
