Gabi DiCarlo
Races Way
to First Top Ten Finish
KANSAS CITY, MO. (April 25,
2008) – Gabi DiCarlo picked the right time to show everyone why
she has been picked to drive the Great Clips Racing Toyota Camry for
Stringer Motorsports. With the team struggling with some bad luck this
season Gabi drove the Toyota powered rocket from the 23 starting
position to as high as 3rd and contended with the leaders late in the
race. It was an impressive run, as the ARCA/REMAX series regular
finished the very fast Kansas Speedway’s Kansas Lottery 150 Grand
in the 9th position and garnered her first series top ten.
“This was by far the best race car I have ever had in any series
that I’ve competed in”, said DiCarlo. “I can’t
thank Doug Stringer, (owner of Stringer Motorsports) Barry Dodson (Crew
Chief) and the whole team enough.”
“I wish I could say I’m surprised how well she did but
after working with her in the first couple of races I really expect her
to run like this,” said Crew Chief Barry Dodson.
“She’s a real talent.”
Team owner Doug Stringer would say, “ It’s was a
bittersweet day for the team as we learned of the passing of Roy
Gundrum, father of Mark Gundrum ARCA/REMAX Series VP of
Marketing, and great friend of the team. Our prayers go out to Mark and
his family.”
The Great Clips Team will take the momentum and head back to North
Carolina for the running of what is expected to be the biggest race of
the year, the Inaugural Carolina 500 which will be held at famous
Rockingham Speedway, Sunday May 4th.
