Sterling Marlin: Drivers
built 144 days ago
Of the drivers outside of the top 35 in owners points, Marlin’s lap of 174.786 mph in the #09 Miccosukee Resorts Chevrolet was the fastest. His qualifying speed was 16th fastest for Sunday’s Ford 400 lineup.

A crash at Kansas (top) crumpled Marlin's Dodge and left the driver with a neck injury that sidelined him for the rest of the 2002 season. Marlin would go on to great success, and in recent years, evolve into something of a vanishing species: a countryfied NASCAR driver. Somehow it's hard to imagine, say, Jeff Gordon accidentally setting a cow on fire while sloshing delousing goo on her, or any other young NASCAR hottie shoveling manure, cracking a blacksnake around a buddy's neck, or crushing 'backer worms between a dark-stained thumbnail and forefinger.
In the family: He is the son of former NASCAR driver Coo Coo Marlin. He was named after the British Formula One racing legend Sterling Moss. His son, Steadman Marlin, is an occasional driver in the Busch Series.
