What is Sterlings Marlin's secret?? Hate ta say it, but, he seems to be the only "competitive" Dodge right now.

Is it horsepower, driver, car setup?? What do you think?

Ya gotta admit his car is very consistant.

We will win one though.


MOPAR TO YA!

In my opinion, Sterling has always been a better driver than his record showed. With Chip Gannasi's money and desire to field a winning team, you are seeing the results of a good driver with a great car.

Their secret is hard work/money, hard work/money and hard work/more money.

Default yep

that could be it as well, also may be the crew chief telling him to kick it in the bud, and win, or at least be first in the points standing.

My real opinion about Marlin is that the man is a super competitor. I think we are seeing the real character that just wanted a chance to break out with the right resources, money etc. I know some of the Dodge strategies (crew chiefs) haven't impressed me that much in a few races. To win at Nascar, it takes more than just a good car/driver.

Is it me or are the Dodge drivers just looking out for themselves? It seems when one car (dodge) pulls out of the pack no other Dodge seems to go with him to help draft. The Phords and Generic Motors cars sure aint gonna follow!

If these guys would realize that they have 10 (most of the time if Kyle qualifies) team members to help them out rather than maybe one other car, they would do alot better IMHO.

I agree w/you shadowfox. I thaught that we would see more Dodge helping Dodge than we have been. I guess to the drivers it's still there's the 9 car or here comes the 40 car, not, GOOD!, here comes another Dodge.

BTW, whatever Marlin is doing I hope he can keep it up! He's the best we got so far.

GO MARLIN !!!

Default crew chief

I beleive sterlings biggest problem is his crew cheif three of his loses have come because of bad tire set ups or faulty suspension adj at the last pit stop the only thing stopping marlin from winning is his crew cheif.

P.S maybe it's me but has any one noticed the bias of the fox network towards the brand X cars when the race is on

If it isn't a mopar it isn't anything.
