Akin, IL (September 2, 2008) – In only her fourth start on a dirt track surface Gabi DiCarlo redeemed herself for her struggles at the Illinois State Fair’s Springfield Mile. Gabi continued her fast paced learning curve with a much more successful run on another famous Illinois dirt track, the Flying Mile of the DuQuoin Fairgrounds. The Great Clips Racing Team led by crew chief Randy Nelson fought the ever changing track conditions to provide DiCarlo a much better handling racer.

“I was really able to get a much better feel for the track, every change that Randy would make, made the car better,” said Gabi.

DiCarlo qualified in the 33rd position and gained 11 tough earned spots through the field to garner a respectable 22nd place finish.

The team will now head back to DiCarlo’s more favored asphalt surface and the very fast Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet Illinois for the running of the ARCA/REMAX Series Chicagoland ARCA 200. The team will debut a special Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus “Best of Both Worlds” paint scheme on the Great Clips Toyota Camry.
