Marlin Kracht

#19k

Marlin Kracht drives the 19k Modified car. He lives in Luverne, Mn. His home track is Murry County Speedway, Slayton, Mn. but he can be found racing all of the USA.

He began racing in 1987 in Hobby Stock Class at Rapid Speedway, Rock Rapid, Iowa, because it was too expensive to do it on the streets (and illegal). His first win was in 1989 same Class and Track. Career highlights include, 2000Track Championship at Murry County Raceway, 45 Feature wins total and Rapid National Championship in 1991.

The thrill of racing for him is being further than the rest of the cars on the track. His most exciting racing moment was the first race he ever ran in a Modified. He won the Feature at Interstate Speedway in 1997. He is most proud of winning half the races at Murry County Raceway in 2000.

His racing hero is Alan Kulwicki.

Of racing, Marlin says, "If you are going to race, don't do it halfway, give it everything you got".
