Update on Coo Coo Per Jayski


LATEST on Coo Coo: Retired racing great Coo Coo Marlin of Columbia is hospitalized in serious condition, continuing his battle with lung cancer. The 73-year-old Marlin's son, Nextel Cup driver Sterling Marlin, has decided to skip tomorrow's race in Watkins Glen, N.Y., to be at his father's side. Sterling Marlin and his wife Paula returned home from New York at 2:00am yesterday when informed that the elder Marlin's condition had worsened. Paula said her husband was with his father yesterday and unavailable for comment. The family has requested privacy during this period. Coo Coo Marlin was the first Middle Tennessee racer to rise to national prominence, spending 14 seasons on the Grand National (now Nextel Cup) circuit. He never won a points race, but was widely respected as a hard-nosed, determined racer. He was also a farmer and cattleman before retiring. Sterling Marlin credits his father for instilling in him the qualities that carried him to two Daytona 500 victories and made his one of the sport's most popular racers. David Stremme, with help from Scott Pruett, practiced Sterling Marlin's #40 Dodge for Chip Ganassi Racing yesterday at Watkins Glen. Stremme, who is taking over the #40 Dodge next season, is expected to drive the car in qualifying today and the race tomorrow. Marlin has been working to secure another ride for 2006.(Tennessean)(8-13-2005)

Team Evernham just dodged one bullet - Carlos Contreras is 12th of 36 teams that took time (dunno what happened to Stanton Barrett) with a 118.491.

Stan Silva knocks out Elliot Sadler (forgot to mention that Rocket knocked out Scott Turner), puts Michael Waltrip into the show, and puts Paul Bonacorsi onto the bubble with a 116.576 (25th of 37, or 38 depending on what happened to Barrett; 9th of 16 field-fillers).

David Stremme with a 120.213 good for 32nd of 38 (or is it 39?).

Wally Dallenbach puts himself into the show with a 118.713 (13th of 39/40, 5th of 17 field-fillers). That knocks out Paul Bonacorsi, and puts Mark Green on the bubble.
