Marlin could sub for Franchitti at Darlington

Sterling Marlin may drive again for Chip Ganassi Racing as a substitute for the injured Dario Franchitti in the May 10 Sprint Cup race at Darlington. Marlin drove eight seasons for Ganassi in the #40 Dodge before being replaced prior to the 2006 season. Marlin said nothing had been made official. ?They?ve mentioned Darlington,? Marlin said. ?I told them it?s whatever they want to do.? Marlin is committed to driving for Phoenix Racing in Richmond in Saturday night?s Cup race. He said his remaining schedule with the race team is not set. He signed a 10-race deal with Phoenix Racing prior to the season. Marlin finished 22nd in Sunday?s Aaron?s 499 ? the first Cup race he qualified for this season. Marlin also is scheduled to compete in six Late Model races at Music City Motorplex beginning on May 10, but he said a Cup ride would take priority. Franchitti broke his left ankle in a crash on the 11th lap of Saturday?s Nationwide race at Talladega. It has not been determined how many races Franchitti will miss. Tennessean
