🇺🇸 Mike Marlar

Mike Marlar is an established professional competing in national single-class stock car racing. He has four NASCAR starts on record across the Cup Series, Xfinity, and Truck series between 2019 and 2022, driving for various teams in those appearances.[1]

Marlar finished 34th in NASCAR Xfinity championship standings in 2019 from a single round. His NASCAR tenure saw him race against elite professional opposition; he finished ahead of Christopher Bell, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and FIA Silver graded driver, in one outing, and ahead of Kyle Larson, a two-time Cup Series champion with FIA Gold grading, once as well. Against his regular NASCAR opponents, Chase Briscoe and John Hunter Nemechek, both established or elite professionals with championship credentials of their own, Marlar typically finished behind them.[2]

Marlar's NASCAR appearances placed him in fields mixing amateur through professional-graded drivers. His four starts produced moments of competitive surprise against drivers of considerably higher standing, though the limited sample and his eventual retirement from national stock car racing leave that record a footnote rather than a pattern.
