Daytona Gives DiCarlo No Brakes

DAYTONA BEACH FL (2-12-08) – Gabi DiCarlo was doing a masterful job avoiding everything that the competition was throwing at her during the first 35 laps of the ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The Great Clips Race Team that DiCarlo drives for had her in a position that was bound to reward the talented driver with a fantastic finish. She had already avoided two huge crashes that had decimated the 43 car field and was running in the 12^th position. Everything was in place for a challenging run to the end of the 80 lap season opening race, when Gabi was forced to radio to the crew that she had just lost the brakes on the Great Clips Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

Crew Chief Barry Dodson and his young crew thrashed on the racer and did a great job in returning some of the cars stopping ability but the team found themselves 7 laps down to field.

“We had a great opportunity for a top ten finish, the car was good and Gabi was driving her heart out,” said Dodson. “We did a lot of testing with this car and never had a bit of trouble, I hate it that this one got away.”

Even with the adversity of the brakes, Gabi was still able to make the best of her first Daytona start with a fine 20^th place finish. The season looks as promising as ever as the Great Clips Team heads to 2^nd race of the year at Salem Speedway on April 13^th
