Racing career

Dirt racing

Marlar won the 2020 Butterball Memorial at Richmond Raceway in Kentucky and the associated $20,000 payday.[2]

Stock car racing

He made his NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series debut at the 2019 Eldora Dirt Derby driving the No. 33 Toyota Tundra for Reaume Brothers Racing.[3] Upon arriving at the track, Marlar was forced to remove the logos for his sponsor Marathon Oil off his truck, as it conflicted with Sunoco being the official fuel of NASCAR.[4] He qualified for the main event by finishing fifth in the third qualifying race.[5] He started in the 23rd position and finished fourth in the main event.[6]

In September 2019, he joined MBM Motorsports for his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Richmond Raceway.[7]
