Sterling Marlin is the only driver outside the top 35 in the 2006 owner point standings who has raced his way in to each of the first five events of the season. Next week's race at Martinsville Speedway will mark the first weekend that the 35 automatic berths are based on this year's owner points.
"It's great to get these first five events behind us," said Marlin, who is currently 29th in this year's owner point standings. "Slugger (Labbe - crew chief) and the guys have done a great job all year getting this Chevy dialed in so that we could secure starting spots and be competitive. My hats off to them."
