Who is Eula Faye?
Eula Faye, of blessed memory, is the loving mother of Sterling Marlin.She was supportive of her husband’s career as a professional car racer. She was there through 18 years of racing while her husband, Coo Coo, was trying without success to win a Winston Cup race, and she was there for most of the 14 seasons Sterling was trying, with equal lack of success.
Eula Faye was violently opposed to Sterling becoming a race driver until she realized that he was the one to take over for his dad. The Marlin men, Coo Coo and Sterling waited until the night before Sterling was planning to drive in his first race to tell her.The loving mother of Sterling passed on in 1988.
On June 30, 1957, Sterling Marlin was born in Columbia, Tennessee, in the United States of America.
Raised in a family deeply rooted in racing, Marlin inherited his passion for the sport from his father, Coo Coo Marlin, a respected driver in his own right. As a young boy, Sterling would often accompany his father to the racetrack, immersing himself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the racing world. It was during these formative years that Marlin’s curiosity and love for racing began to take hold.
With his natural talent and determination, Marlin quickly made a name for himself on the local racing circuit.
Sterling Marlin made his NASCAR debut when he was 19 years old, filling in for his injured father. The race was unsuccessful due to car problems, but it showed that he could hold his own. Within two years, he was securing Top Ten finishes, and in 1983 received the Rookie of the Year Award. For the next seven years, he raced for multiple teams, slowly rising the ranks of drivers, and establishing himself as a solid driver.
He won the Daytona 500 in 1994 and 1995. He raced moderately well through the late 80s but then seemed to hit his stride again after his team switched to racing with Dodge Intrepids. He was involved in an accident with Dale Earnhardt that led to Earnhardt’s death. Fan backlash was so strong, that the Earnhardt family came forward to make it clear that he was not the cause of Earnhardt’s death. He retired in March of 2010, after racking up 10 wins, 216 Top Tens, and 11 poles in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and 2 wins, 22 Top Tens, and 1 pole in the Nationwide Series.
