Now sponsored by Skytel, you can expect more from Dixon this season as tuner Donnie Bender is entering his second year as the head man following the retirement of Dick LaHaie, and he’s no longer feeling his way.  He’s going for it and tuning with considerably more confidence than he evidenced last year.  A

s Dixon put it, “Donnie was even walking around a little nervously, but you can see he’s got a lot more confidence in what he’s doing now, and that’s big for us.  I think we have a better ‘package’ now than we did at the end of ’06.  Everyone’s attitudes are good, and I think we’re going to be right up there this year.”
