Great race for Sterling Marlin to have ignition problems and fight his way back to collect the $10,000 for the halfway point in the race and then to go on and win the race that was a dominant car for sure
Benny Parsons comes across as such a jovial guy. Hard to imagine him at the wheel of a NASCAR Cup racer with the intensity and aggressiveness it takes to be competitive in that series.
Because the teams for the most part only had a single sponsor all year back then and there were almost never any special paint schemes at all until either '95 or '96. There were a few exceptions, like the five unsponsored cars that were painted in the colors of the armed forces for the 1991 Daytona 500 including Alan Kulwicki after he lost his sponsorship.
I love this old races really , i take great pleasure at watch this races ! i love it when they leave the commercials in reruns on YT because, it takes me back to the 90s. I like to sit on the couch and watch those 90s races, with a coffee and a cigarette and a cigar, one of the pleasures the simplest and most pleasant in fact, today. I love Darell he still has that teen attitude you would think 06:55 sacrée Darell THANK YOU SO MUCH REALLY SMIFF TV for this all uploads !
This was real men racing in real machines, head to head. These men had character, when they were bump-drafting off of each other, they'd come up on each other hard, drag the brake, and nudge the rear of the one he's drafting off of! Racing now is unwatchable, it's like a bumper-cars amusement park ride, with a convoluted scoring system that replaces actual racing with a substitute, and distracts, by making every driver a minor winner, like their back in grade school. Little boys versus men . .
Later on in July at Talladega swirvin Irvin wrecked both sterling and dale's car s. I dont think Sterling ever used that car again. That thing was a monster on restricter plates. The 4 always ran good but that specific car was special.
Of course I'm ruining it by posting this, but there were 4 comments on this video before I made mine. That # 4 was everywhere on the plate races in the '90s haha
Was at the race, Sterling Marlin was bad fast. Led the pack into turn 3 and came into the tri oval dead last due to ignition failure. Tony Glover told Sterling hit the backup and the car came alive and Sterling came through the pack to win 🏁
That's because it was more that car than him. Marlin in that specially built supercar car in 95 & 96 ran 8 plate races, resulting in 4 wins & 1 runnerup finish. Once that car got destroyed in the 1996 DieHard 500 wreck at Dega that probably shoulda killed Earnhardt, Marlin was never a factor like that ever again in a plate race & Morgan McLure Racing never won another plate race either...
@@vinewood8295Disagree with that. While obviously Marlin's best plate runs were in the #4 and he never had a dominant run like this, he was not merely a product of his car. He contended for plenty of plate wins in 1991-93 even though he never won one (especially 1992), he was still fast in all the 1997 plate races even though he was extremely mediocre everywhere else, he won his first twin 125 with SABCO, and then obviously the 2001 and 2002 Daytona 500s. The Talladega crash and then the Indy crash right after it (which I assume was Marlin's fast car he had almost won at Michigan with) was however the beginning of the end for the team, and once Tony Glover was gone it was all over. That's why I kind of find Bobby Hamilton's 1998 to be almost completely inexplicable (except for the Martinsville win since he was always good there). Weird to hear there were already rumors about Morgan-McClure going to a second car that never really happened, because I remember reading Jayski constantly in the years following this and Morgan-McClure was always constantly rumored to be adding a second car that never came to fruition. Anyway, I'm not a big Marlin fan but I guess I'm a Marlin defender since I think his career is wildly misunderstood. I think he was basically a Jeff Burton/Bobby Labonte-esque talent who was way less lucky than those guys (I guess with the exception of the power of his restrictor plate engines in '95 and '96). Marlin was the last driver to make an on-track pass for the lead 18 times but only won 10 times. Absurdly unlucky. Even in plate races he was kind of unlucky (lost the 1992 spring Talladega race and 1995 summer Daytona race on pit stops... I guess you can't really call the 2002 Daytona 500 bad luck and I don't count that race towards my stats).
@@arenasnow The fact THAT he never won a race period & that his first triumph was in the 4 car as well as him not winning another points paying plate race after the super car was destroyed in 96 backs up my initial comment. I'll agree he could drive on plate tracks prior BUT he never had the power, the handling & the know how as far as where to put the car at the same time to get it done like he did in that super car with Morgan McLure. THAT car had soo much power that ALL he had to do was keep it pointed in the right direction & off the walls. That 92 Spring race at Talladega you spoke of was dominated by Davey Allison, both Marlin & Elliott were there at the end & could do nothing together to get to the front & try to contend for the win. Instead of working together to try and 1 / 2 finish, they instead fought with Irvan & Dale Earnhardt for second place. We can agree to disgree you & myself, Marlin was a good plate driver I agree BUT I still say it was more that chassis than him that won those races. Had he been able to win a couple times in points paying races at plate tracks for Chip Gnassi I would have a different opinion on the matter...
I was going to possibly say he was at Milwaukee for the truck race, but I would of been wrong, as usual, as I haven't seen that truck race is a few months.
Marlin's car was as strong in this race as it ever was...

I don't know why but in the 80s/90s cars were easier to remember compared to today

Sterling Marlin's 6th Career NASCAR Winston Cup Victory
1:49:25 Last Lap

From 94 to 96, The MMM Kodak Car was hard to beat. and they were a 1 car team.
Was at the race, Sterling Marlin was bad fast. Led the pack into turn 3 and came into the tri oval dead last due to ignition failure. Tony Glover told Sterling hit the backup and the car came alive and Sterling came through the pack to win 🏁
Bill Elliott's 1st race since his wreck at Talladega that Spring
Career start #800 for Dave Marcis
This was the 3rd to last race before Daytona had lights as they installed lights after the 1998 Daytona 500.
The Budweiser Kenny Schrader StockCar! Kenny must have contacted Rusty's advertising team.
1:49:00 - Cole, is that you? :D
as good as sterling was on the plate tracks, its insane to think this was his last win on one!

Where's Ned during this broadcast?
Ned worked for CBS with Ken Squire and ESPN with Bob and others during the 80s and 90s.
I was going to possibly say he was at Milwaukee for the truck race, but I would of been wrong, as usual, as I haven't seen that truck race is a few months.
@@AustinLaPlante You are correct. Just watched the truck race. Ned was calling the truck race in Milwaukee with Buddy Baker.
