Randy Decker hires Gabriel; Tidbits

Randy Decker Motorsports announced in this weeks Area Auto Racing News the driver that will take over for Brian Weaver aboard the #9R modified in 2009. Jim Gabriel Jr. will take over the driving duties, and will run weekly at the Five Mile Point Speedway. The team will also run a handful of RoC Dirt Tour shows. No word on Weaver's plans yet, although you can look for him to drive the Chris Weaver #1A on at least a handful of occasions.

Two drivers who are championship contenders and fan favorites at their respective tracks, who lost their 2008 rides, will be driving their own equipment in 2009. Club Wago driver Jason Hamilton will pilot his own small block modified weekly at Grandview Speedway (per Ernie Saxton), and Willy Decker will drive his own modified weekly at Utica Rome Speedway. Look for Decker to make select starts on the road in the Kyle Lewis owned #09 big block modified.
