Marks, who recently kicked off his offseason by getting married, is coming off his best career season with five feature victories, 22 top fives and 57 top-10 finishes.
“First off, I want to say it was a blast,” he said. “It was a big, big learning experience. I went to so many different race tracks and raced with so many guys. By doing that you are bound to get better and I think we got better. If I could sum up my season in two words I would say learning struggle. It wasn’t easy by any means. I was trying to learn every race.”
“I’d have to say winning my first 410ci race,” he said. “That really meant a lot to me. That’s something that I’ll have and be able to remember the rest of my life. I’ll never forget that and all the hard work that went into getting that win and how difficult it was to win that race. I feel that was the highest moment of the season.”
