Laubach Out One Door and In Another; Tons of Tidbits

Rick Laubach, as most of you probably know, has officially gone his seperate ways from the Dick Biever owned #14 big block team. Laubach was upset over Doug Manmiller taking over the controls of the team's small block, which was announced in late 2008. No official word yet on the replacement. Laubach will now not be attending the races in Florida in a month at Volusia County Speedway, despite being on the entry list.

Laubach will be a weekly racer at the Big Diamond Raceway in 2009. Laubach will driv for sportsman competitor Guy Germano to run weekly in the small block division in Germano's #542.

Danny O'Brien, who won yet another Brockville Speedway championship in 2008 and picked up a $15,000 win at Granby, will drive for Kendrick Racing in 2009. Kendrick Racing will continue to have Tim Jones drive the team's second car.

Sean Beardsley, who made a handful of modified starts at the beginning of 2008 before selling off his modified equipment to focus on running the World of Outlaw Late Model schedule, has purchased a big block modified and will run it part-time in 2009. This news came from an interview on Doug's Dirt Diary, be sure to shoot on over there and check it out.
Jeff Strunk has scratched his plans to run at Volusia in a month on the Florida Dirt Tour.
