Look, Bill can tell a story better than I can, so why would I want to add to it or detract from it.  Check out these excerpts and then the full article if you have time.  It's a good piece.  Cheers!

Sterling said most of the legal issues -- meaning contract and money -- have been worked out, so he can look for a ride.  He said he doesn't have one.

"I can drive if I want to," Marlin said.  "Next year I was going to cut back anyway, wasn't gonna plan on running the full deal, unless a really good car come along to run.  I was gonna cut back to 15 or 20 races, and if that didn't come off it didn't.  So maybe I would run a few Busch races just to keep your hand in it, have a good time.  You enjoy racing so if I don't do that we'll drive a Late Model at Nashville."

So at least we can watch him race there! I'm hoping we'll see him somewhere else before that, but, maybe not.

The fan reaction to the Sterling Shuffle has been predictable.  I'm not talking about the Internet, I'm talking about fans that come up to you and ask, "What happened to Sterling?" "Why did they do that to Sterling?"  The rear windows of the Chevy Tahoe I saw driving around Indianapolis when I arrived on Wednesday: "Save Sterling from Ginn Racing ... the last resort", a shot at another business interest of car owner Bobby Ginn.

Marlin, make that Sterling -- it's hard to call Sterling by his last name -- knows all about the fan response.

"Yeah, I heard the Web site stuff was crammed full and I guess the Ginn Web site got blasted, I don't know, but I want to thank all the fans for all the years and it's been great. The fans are what make it all go 'round so I want to thank them all for supporting me all the years."
