*        Earlier this Season at Dover:  During the spring race at Dover,
Marlin finished 32nd.  On lap 136 the No. 7 car spun out in Turn Two and

tangled and Marlin suffered rear end damage.

move into 28th position in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup points standings after
his 11th-place finish this past weekend in Loudon.  The No. 40 Dodge,
however, is 25th in owner points.

 

STERLING MARLIN QUOTES:

"We had a good weekend at Loudon and I am hoping to continue that with a
solid performance this weekend in Dover. The Coors Light team worked
hard to keep us in the top-15 and we were able to finish 11th.  I got
caught up in someone else's mess earlier this season at Dover but
hopefully we can have an accident free race and get a top-15 finish."
