Marlin to drive for Franchitti for another week

It looks like Dario Franchittti will sit out another week while recovering from his injuries in a Nationwide race at Talladega. So Sterling Marlin will drive the #40 Dodge at the Coca-Cola 600 next Sunday. "It's the same old thing -- drivers think they aren't that hurt when they're hurt," owner Chip Ganassi said. "They think they'll be back in a week, and so we all kind of said 'OK, great, it's going to be a week or two. I think he's starting to realize that it's not going to be that quick and it looks like Sterling Marlin is going to be driving the car here next week for the 600 and we're kind of taking it one day at a time after that."
