Marlin back at Phoenix? The Kansas wreck that brought the curtain down on Sterling Marlin’s best season in the Winston Cup Series, given that the original prognosis said he wouldn’t race again until 2003. But if everything goes according to plan, Marlin could be back in the car in time for the Phoenix race on Nov. 10. “The doctor said four to six weeks, so we’ll have to see what he says,” Marlin says. “I know I can’t get back in the car at Atlanta or Rockingham, but if the doctor says I’m healed up, it’s possible I could be back at Phoenix. I want to get back. This is all I’ve ever done since 1987 — full time. I want to drive. I want to run. I want to go, but right now I can’t do it.”(Sporting News)(10-18-2002)
