Marlin replaced by Regan Smith for the Brickyard, Nemechek could be out too
Quote selected text Published July 17th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Regan Smith will replace Sterling Marlin in the #14 Chevy at Ginn Racing, starting with the Allstate 400 at Indianapolis, sources confirmed Tuesday. And Joe Nemechek could be out of a ride in the #13 Chevy for Bobby Ginn’s team due to a lack of sponsorship.
The team doesn’t plan to run the car at Indianapolis unless a sponsor is found. Because the Allstate 400 is one of the biggest Nextel Cup events of the season, it’s possible to get a one-off sponsor deal just for that race. If that happens, Ginn officials would race Nemechek in the #13. Marlin and Nemechek still are under contract at Ginn, but both drivers have been told they are free to look for opportunities elsewhere.
- Petty surprised by Marlin & Nemechek firing, has choice words for Bobby Ginn
- Money/sponsorship problems for Ginn?
- Coors Light to sponsor DEI’s No 01, Regan Smith
- Ginn makes more cuts which may include Nextel Cup
- Ginn makes plans for 2008











Marlin and Nemechek suck.
You suck…
nemechek is a good driver/qualifier at least (”front roe joe”?) I still say let martin and marlin split a ride..they both want limited schedules.
I agree but I guess Aric Almirola is fufilling that role from now on…
i think ginn had a good idea for this year, unfortunately he couldnt get it right financially. bringing in all the veterans gave him TONS of data for the cars and it was probably the best way to start a new team. Martin set up all of his own cars for a long time, veterans give the best feedback and are the best mentors to young drivers.
I CANT BELIVE THIS MARLIN AND JOE HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS IN STOCK CAR RACING, THERE IS HARDLY ANY OF OUR OLDER DRIVERS LEFT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE FANS IF THEY STAY OR GO
