Sterling Marlin will have to go to a backup car after things took a turn for the worst in the Gatorade Duel event. Marlin was involved in an incident under caution damaging the #14 Waste Management Chevrolet, forcing the team to a backup car for Sunday's Daytona 500. Marlin had a strong performance in Thursday's first of two Gatorade Duel 150-mile qualifying races, starting eighth and running as high as fourth several times. Then on Lap 58 of 60, the caution flag waved, setting up a green-white-checkered restart. As Marlin followed the field across the start-finish line for the final caution lap, he was caught off guard as several other racecars slowed to avoid debris and the result was a wrecked racecar. By going to a backup car he will be forced to start the Daytona 500 from the rear of the field - MB2 Motorsports PR.
