Sterling Marlin, winner of back-to-back Daytona 500s in 1994-'5, has committed to racing in the Howie Lettow 150, ARCA Midwest Tour vice president Steve Einhaus said.

ARCAFest runs June 7-8 at the Milwaukee Mile.

Marlin, 56, won 10 times in 748 starts in NASCAR’s top division, including Daytona in 1994 and ’95. His best seasons was 2002 when he won twice for Chip Ganssi and Felix Sabates and led the standings for 25 straight weeks before suffering a neck injury that caused him to miss the final seven races.

Although the colorful Tennessean retired from NASCAR national series competition in 2009, he has raced some on the local short tracks.
