From Living In A Motel To Winning A NASCAR Championship with Kyle Larson | Dale Jr. Download
Спорт
How do you go from living in an Amish community to winning a NASCAR Cup Series championship? Marlin Yoder found a way, and it wasn’t easy. After leaving the Amish community, Marlin wasn't going to let his dreams of reaching the highest level of stock car racing slip away. He was working as a roofer and helping on friends’ late models in Wisconsin, but challenged himself to figure out how to work in racing full time.
In 2015, Marlin drove to North Carolina and gave himself two weeks to find a job at a race shop. He got a room in a motel and started visiting race shops in the Charlotte area to hand out his resume. How the rest of Marlin’s story plays out is almost unbelievable, including when he turned down his dream job the first time it was offered. But, he found a way and he’s got a 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship ring to prove it.

He has tremendous discipline, which is from his upbringing in the Amish community.
Love how it’s starting to get around to some of the mechanics and behind the scenes people whose story’s are very interesting and awesome to hear. Good for people who deserve the credit

Starting to? Welcome to the pod newbie!
I love how principled he is. Like Dale said he could’ve easily cruised on a good salary but his desire for greater things and principles overcame that.
Every guy I know from Wisconsin looks exactly like this dude
Loved this. If I lived closer to Kannapolis I would take my car to him to get it fixed. I feel like I could trust him.
Good you care about the guys who do the skilled work the dirty work & the technical work. Respect U Dale.
Love this. Like to see the stories behind people who aren’t in the spotlight every day.

I know! Escaped a sheltered life for the bright lights!
Love it when a person chases their dreams
We need more crew guys to be visible and talked about! They don't even mention the flag man, pace car driver or the guy running the show's name on tv these days! They used to say Harold Kinder bringthem to green or Elmo Langley paces the field and they always showed Bill Gazaway giving commands to race operations. You just felt more involved and invested!
His resume wouldn't so bad if you asked me. Sounds like Harry Gant. Harry worked on roofs/carpentry and drove race cars as a hobby before he got a big break.
The full interview this clip was from was the first time my wife watched an entire podcast with me. She likes the short clips like this but loses interest if they are too long but she got sucked into this entire episode. 😂 Interesting guy. 👍
Dale,you really know how to keep our interest. NO body does it better. Being from Wisconsin gives me great pride that a young man like Marlin would draw the of attention you all . Just an amazing young man. Thanks for highlighting his accomplishments.
Definitely worth watching the whole episode… Learned a lot behind the scenes AND the Amish… very interesting.
This guy is awesome
A very impressive youngman.
This is a great story. Want to be in motorsports? Pay attention. This is how it works.
fantastic story ! wow! good luck to Marlin !
So cool to bring us a working bro.
Best podcast ever!!!
This kid looks like Jr's son
Very cool story!!!
I do wish this young man the best! He’s very disciplined and smart, so I won’t be surprised at all to see his name on the side of a truck or car in NASCAR. He’s a very impressive young man. I’m sure his parents are proud of him.
WHY isn’t Jeffrey Earnhardt racing for Jr motorsports we need a Earnhardt in the field every week with good equipment
Street stock? Old time short track jalopies?
I'm talking my boss into opening up a lake Norman branch in Denver and I need you to get the whole NASCAR family ready to buy some fencing from us please
I think this is the story I need to read and listen to as I’m pondering what the fuck’s going to happen to me.
what happened to mike ?
Cool story

His name is Marlin Yoder.
Story telling isn’t for everyone. Dale Jr looked bored
I’m happy that Kyle Larson was able to come out of the other side of those leftists trying to destroy his career.
