As the wheel turns. From www.jayski.com/cupnews.htmMarlin to the #43? Contrary to the belief held by many, Sterling Marlin will not replace Dave Blaney in the Richard Childress Racing-owned #07 Chevrolet in 2006. On the surface, that move made sense, as the sponsor of the #07 is Tennessee-based Jack Daniels Whiskey, and Marlin is one of Tennessee's favorite sons. But it's not happening. [Yahoo] originally heard Marlin was heading to the #0 Chevy to replace Mike Bliss, but banter now has Marlin going to Petty Enterprises and the #43 to replace Jeff Green, as Marlin and his father Coo Coo have been longtime friends of the Petty family. Green isn't necessarily happy at Petty, anyway, as that team isn't giving him a car good enough to show off his talents. As for the #07 in '06, Blaney's not going anywhere – he's a lock to stay in the car for next season, providing a good buffer to teammates Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton. It doesn't hurt that Blaney is one of team owner Richard Childress' favorite people in racing.(Yahoo Sports)(7-25-2005) Who knows at this point.

You know, Jack - I have been giving this a lot of thought.....and I think that this would be a good opportunity to just change drivers to make things easy.
If Marlin changes teams but still manages to hold the records for "dumb penalities" then something is up -
I would like to just think that he has had bad luck with Chip's team - and that totally makes sense considering some of the horrible luck that the early-mid #40s cars have had.
AHhh! What the heck?! I am talking about NASCAR like I know what I am doing! AHHHHHHHH
