Marlin's story has been particularly impressive. Entering Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway, Marlin has four top 10s in six races and sits a regal third in the points standings, up there in the high cotton with people like Dale Jarrett and Jeff Gordon. He has been clearly the best of the new Dodge boys. Marlin didn't become magic overnight. But his team did.
