Decker Wins Rolling Wheels; Gular in with Hyneman; SDW Tidbits

Billy Decker won the 110 lap feature at Rolling Wheels Raceway Monday night, it was his 10th win of the Super Dirt Series tour so far this year. Willy Decker, Steve Paine, and Tim Fuller all ran out of gas late in the race while running in the top 10, which made the finish to the race much more exciting than the first 100 laps.

Mike Gular, who was recently released from the Steve Kratz Racing #8 small block modified which left him without a ride for the end of the year races on the PA small block scene, signed a one race deal with big-time car owned Glen Hyneman for the Freedom 76er at Grandview Speedway on September 13th. This means Gular will team up yet again with good friend Jeff Strunk, who was also his teammate when both drove for Chad Sinon. Strunk won both the Grandview and Big Diamond in 2007 and 2008, and Gular was the 2007 Penn Can champion.

Lance Willix and Brett Graham have scrapped their 358 Super Dirt Week plans, and will no longer be running at the mile this year. In Rite-Aid 200 news, Ryan Godown, Shawn Reimert, Billy Pauch Jr, and Brian McDonald have all confirmed plans to attempt to qualify their big blocks. Godown will be driving his self-owned #26, Reimert will be driving the Gagliardo Racing #41, Pauch Jr will be driving the Nick Noll #6n, and Brian McDonald will be driving the LaSalle Motorsports #m96 and will use an engine from the Tim Kerr stable. Also, don't be surprised to see Toby Tobias behind the wheel of an H&H Motorsports big block at SDW. Check back for updates.
