Mike Marlar
Eldora Speedway again takes center stage Thursday night with a standalone prime-time weekday event for the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series. Most Truck Series fans will see a couple of dirt-track ringers' names that aren't familiar. That is commonplace for this race including Tennessee's own Mike Marlar of Winfield. The reigning defending World of Outlaws Late Model series champion will be piloting the # 33 Reaume Brothers Racing Toyota truck.
