Marlin’s new ride:

Steadman Marlin is preparing for what he hopes will be a full-time ride in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season. Marlin will drive for a new team [#67] owned by Tom Eldredge of Wyoming. During last week’s tests at Daytona, Marlin was eighth-fastest at more than 181 mph. Marlin and wife Mandi are expecting their first child later this year.(Tennessean)(1-15-2004)
