Ronnie Delk / Mike Marlar

[Oiler]

^^Yes. A mere $600K is the asking price so their pockets are pretty deep for a new one. Marlar will be in good hands financially was my point. He can keep on doing what he did for Delk and not worry about the bills.

Marlar is always fun to watch. I would have no problem with not seeing Clanton again.

Mike Marlar is a real racer that understands cars. I am certain he will run up front with a deep pocketed owner that is providing him with the same mfg of car he is already running. It should be a simple transition.

He and Madden are the 2 guys who are never going to be out to lunch unless they are running a crate against supers or something like that.

Marlar’s been good in everything from Rayburns to Rockets, Capitals, and Longhorns too. He’d probably be good in a Kryptonite too. He seems to adapt fairly quickly to whatever chassis he’s in. Pretty cool watching him rise up from the old BoB days into one of the 5 or 6 best in the sport.

^^^ I can't remember what year it was, he showed up at n/s in a lime green #16 Bloomquist car. No sponsors whatsoever on the car, just a 16. I think he ran top 5 in the big show and was competitive with it. Like you said, he is a straight up wheel man.

If there was an award for the best driver /racer who gets the least amount of hype , coverage, and fan fare…it’s Mike Marler. That guy is always lurking in the front or charging from back in the weeds to the front almost all the time.

I remember Mikey coming to Tyler County in 2004 for the Hillbilly, he was in a steel block, I hadn't heard of him at the time. He ended up winning beating some very stout cars.

The mean green 16. If I recall some cheap ignition component or a throttle spring broke while he was marching to the front. Without that happening he might have won, the cars was on rails. Forgot about him driving a Bloomquist, I think he ran a Warrior and a Bloomquist for Wells back in the day; I think he won one of the big ones at Columbus or Magnolia in the Bloomquist.

Can’t remember if that was in the Stephens 34 or the old PPM 157. I’m getting old.

^^ It was a 157. White with red number.

Mikey is pure class on and off the track!
