Sterling Marlin and Joe Nemechek are fuddy duddies in this version of NASCAR. Ken Schrader is lucky enough to be able to go back to BAM Racing and try to run some more Cup races this year, leaving the Wood Brothers with Bill Elliott’s remaining provisionals and Jon Wood waiting in the wings.

In 1995, Sterling Marlin became only the third driver in Winston Cup history to win back-to-back Daytona 500s, joining racing royalty Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough.

After finishing third in Winston Cup points in 2001, Sterling Marlin has proven that he is a strong contender for the 2002 championship.

Marlin signed to drive the #22 Maxwell House Ford Thunderbird for Junior Johnson & Associates in 1991. He had a second-place finish at Daytona to start the season and won two poles at Talladega Superspeedway and the Firecracker 400, finishing seventh in the standings. The next season, he won an additional five poles and had six top-five finishes. Despite his career-high pole total, Marlin departed to drive the #8 Raybestos Brakes Ford for Stavola Brothers Racing. He had just one top-five finish and fell to fourteenth in the standings.

"Sterling is like me--just a plain old country boy," says Marlin's crew chief, Lee McCall. "You walk into his hauler and he'll fix you a bologna sandwich. How many other drivers eat bologna sandwiches in their haulers?"
