A report from the Tennessean, says that two-time Daytona 500 champion Sterling Marlin is preparing to get back behind the wheel of a race car on Saturday.
This will mark the first time Marlin, 62, returns to the track since deep brain stimulation surgery that was performed on him in March and April in an effort to alleviate the effects of the mild form of Parkinson’s disease that Marlin suffers from.
“It was a good deal,” Marlin said to the Tennessean about the surgery. “I’m still getting over it. I had it back in March and still hadn’t gotten over it yet. I have bad days and good days.”
Marlin will compete in the late model event at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.
The Columbia, Tennessee native won 10 races in 748-career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series starts.

My wife has Parkinson’s disease, adding PD-5 to her nighttime Parkinson’s meds has completely changed her sleep issues. she slept all day and up all night, we had to hire care nurses. Now using this PD-5 medicine for the last six months and a normal routine she sleeps almost completely through the night and may get up once to use the restroom. It’s improved so much we were able to let go of the night nurses. This medicine also helps a ton with memory. we got the treatment from uine health centre I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution. it’s not a cure all but it does work, I hope you find it helpful, and I wish you a full recovery!
