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.

This is a great story. Want to be in motorsports? Pay attention. This is how it works.

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.

@ronstowe8898 Ай бұрын

Love this. Like to see the stories behind people who aren’t in the spotlight every day.

Mechanics are tough & smart too.

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.

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!

He has tremendous discipline, which is from his upbringing in the Amish community.

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.

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.

This kid looks like Jr's son

@carolinagirl7596 Ай бұрын

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.

First time listener from Grand Rapids, Michigan. What a great story. I was expecting it to turn out a little differently. Many times in the Amish community when somebody leaves they are permanently shunned and permanently banned from the family and community.This gives all of us hope. The Amish for the most part are very religious. The Amish for the most part are very lost. Religion is man’s way to try to reach God. Christianity is God‘s way to try to reach man. Ephesians 2:8-9,John14:6,John3:3

The Amish are very intelligent, and for the most part, they’re very lost. Religion is going to send more people to hell then the devil ever dreamed of. Christianity is God reaching down, trying to get our attention. Ephesians 2:8-9,John3:3,John14:6
