Start #700 for Marlin: #14-Sterling Marlin is scheduled to make his 700th career NASCAR Cup start in Sunday's Sony HD 500 race at California Speedway. But before Sunday rolls along, Marlin must qualify his #14 Ginn Clubs & Resorts Chevrolet during Friday's time trials [the #14 is outside the top-35 in owners points]. "I didn't even realize I was approaching 700 starts," said Marlin. "That's a pretty neat thing to achieve. When I got behind the wheel for the first time 30 years ago, I would've never imagined I'd still be doing it today. I feel very fortunate to have been able to something I love for all these years." Marlin will become the 11th driver in NASCAR Cup history to reach the 700-start milestone. Other drivers with 700 starts include Richard Petty (1,185), Dave Marcis (883), Ricky Rudd (875), Terry Labonte (844), Darrell Waltrip (809), Kyle Petty (773), Bill Elliott (751), Bobby Allison (719), Rusty Wallace (706) and Buddy Baker (701).(MB2 Motorsports PR), #21-Ken Schrader is at 692 starts.(8-30-2006)
