Jody Gable and Gable Motorsports has been out of action since 2006, but the team will return for an all-out big block assault on the Syracuse mile for Super Dirt Week. The driver of the car will be current Fonda points leader Bobby Varin. Varin and Gable teamed up in 2006 at Syracuse and at a couple of late races at Lebanon Valley. Brett Hearn has by far had the most success with the Gable team as they dominated the Valley for a handful of years. Rich Ricci Jr also had some goods seasons with Gable. Bobby Varin has yet to win the big one at Syracuse, but sat on the pole in 1998, and came close to winning and finished in the top 5 in 2005. In 2006 when Varin and Gable teamed up, Varin set 7th fastest time during time trials but dropped out of the 200. Gable is looking at a possible full-time return in 2009.
In Salute to the Troops 150 news, defending Brewerton Speedway champion Willy Decker, 2007 Super Dirt Week 358 Modifieds Futures Race winner Brett Graham, and 2-time feature winner in 2008 at Glen Ridge Paul Kinney have all stated that they'll be running in the small block portion of Super Dirt Week.
