STERLING MARLIN, NO. 14 WASTE MANAGEMENT MONTE CARLO SS:
Q. How did you feel about the introduction of the restrictor plates?
Marlin: Well, it wasn't bad before. The racing wasn't bad. at least you could get away from guys. Now everybody's on top of each other and the car kind of gets up. To me it was better racing back then.
Q. The Budweiser Shootout has five or six or seven guys in their 20s. Is that a big deal for you?
Marlin: No. I've been in it three times and (Dale) Earnhardt (Sr.) was in it. It gets you an idea of where everyone will be for the (Daytona) 500.
Q. Does it surprise you that there are that many young guys in the 500?
Marlin: Not really. I mean, Ricky Rudd was in his 20s when he first started. I guess it's just a sign of the times.
