Dennis Setzer – who just last Friday agreed to a part-time deal – has announced he has a ride for the 2009 season. “I got a deal in the last couple of days with Dave Malcomson and the #8 MRD truck,” said Setzer. “It’s only for 12 races, but I’m pretty happy about that. Atlanta will be my first race with them. Anything that I can get to fill in the other races would be nice. Right now, I don’t have anything scheduled for Daytona, California or the spring Martinsville race. Heck, I won the spring Martinsville race last year. It would be hard to miss that one, so I am hoping I can find something for that race and something to fill in the other ones too.”(CloseFinishes.com)(1-26-2009)
