Friesen to Tom Cullen Racing; Other Tidbits

Stewart Friesen has been named the new driver of the Tom Cullen owned small block #1WGC modified. Matt Sheppard ran the car in special shows only last season, and collected a win with the team at Hagerstown Speedway. Friesen will run for the team weekly at Utica Rome Speedway, and will also run a handful of shows on the road with the car. Friesen will also have his own #1 for specials, and also the Bryan Chew owned #99 small block modified (according to Brett Deyo) if he ever wants it for specials. Chew runs the car part-time at Utica Rome.

Anthony Rizzardo, one of the sportsman divisions top drivers, is moving up to the 358 modified division. Rizzardo will run weekly at Ransomville Speedway with his self-owned equipment.

Look for a new driver in the Will Brown #1W for 2010.
