Pauch Takes Final Feature of '09, Laubach Garden Champ; Parts Peddler Shots and Tidbits...

Billy Pauch ended his season on a high note by winning the season finale for modifieds in 2008, which was run at the Georgetown Speedway. Pauch picked up $3,000 for his win. Rick Laubach picked up a top 10 finish after having problems with the right front wheel on the car early in the feature, which was more than enough to be crowned the 2008 New Jersey Garden State Dual Track Series champion.

The Parts Peddler is going on in Syracuse this weekend, there are a few 2009 paint schemes. Michael Storms, Jimmy Phelps, Billy Decker, and Pete Bicknell have cars on display. Go to www.dougsdirtdiary.com and click on the photo bin to look through photos from the show.

Jason Rivers, who ran in the Crate Sportsman division at Bridgeport Speedway the past few seasons, is the latest driver to announce his intentions on moving up to the big block division in 2009. Rivers ran a big block show at Bridgeport, and raced at Georgetown earlier today in the big block division as well. He'll run Bridgeport weekly, and do some limited traveling in 2009.

Ransomville and 358 Super Dirt Series regular and up-and-comer Tommy Flannigan has a new ride for 2009. Flannigan will be driving for noted, long time car owner Mike Maroney, who fielded cars most notably for Alan Johnson and Stewart Friesen. Maroney helped Flannigan out with loaning him a motor for Eastern States Weekend, and liked what he saw. Flannigan will run almost the exact same schedule in 2009 as he did in 2008 with his new team.
