DAYTONA BEACH, FL. (February 5, 2008) - Gone are the rookie stripes, no longer will you hear the words development driver. The time has come for Gabi DiCarlo, the 11th place finisher in the 2007 ARCA RE/MAX series to show what she has learned during her time behind the wheel of a full bodied stock car. The mind set of the whole Stringer Motorsports; Great Clips Race Team is that this will be the break out year for DiCarlo.

Crew Chief Barry Dodson was brought in to the team at the end of last year and the pieces of the puzzle started to come together. Dodson’s experience and his young crew’s enthusiasm have made the late nights and weekends well worth all their effort. Stringer Motorsports has a selection of some of the finest race cars in any series. The cars are not only expertly crafted but if their testing efforts say anything, these racers should head to the front of the pack.

“This is the best prepared this team has ever been,” said Doug Stringer. “we are loaded for bear.” 

 

Gabi will get a chance to show her new attitude right from the start as she competes in the ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 9th. This was the only race in the 2007 season that the team was unable to qualify for.

 

“We tested well here in December and Barry has continued to make the car better,” said DiCarlo. “I am looking forward to running in the draft and making my way to the front.”

 

If attitude makes a difference then this should be one of the teams to watch this season.
