The Decker name is well known to fans who watch sleds skid across the white stuff in Eagle River, Wis. Fans of the pavement will soon take notice as Paige Decker becomes more comfortable with her Mid-American Stock Car Series racer.

The Eagle River, Wis., native is in her second season of stock car action and is scheduled to compete in the majority of MASCS events in 2010.

Her career began at the age of three racing in a snowmobile division known as Kitty Kats. No surprise considering her family’s reputation on the powder. Her father Allen and uncle Chuck made the Decker name famous by racing sleds. The Decker family also owns the Eagle River Derby Track, home of the World Championship Snowmobile Derby.

After nearly a dozen years of racing snowmobiles Decker enrolled in summer sessions, racing go-karts at Shawano Speedway. At the age of 15 Decker set several fast times, was named rookie of the year and won the championship. Her love of the karts hasn’t stopped as she still races on regional and national levels.

However, Decker’s career took a turn while sitting in the stands in Plover, Wis.. “I was at Golden Sands as a spectator and decided to compete in the amateur powder puff race,” she said. “I started dead last and ended up first; my love for stock cars began then.”

That dominance in her powder puff race lit a spark in her family. She said one day her uncle surprised her with a stock car, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Decker made her first ever appearance in the season opening event of 2009 at Golden Sands Speedway. Her night came to a premature end as two racers spun in front of her and she was unable to avoid the pileup.

SUPERSEAL will have the team cars of Brian Johnson Jr and Michael Bilderback taking on the High Banks of Slinger. Brian Johnson Jr from Machesney Park, IL, is the 2009 ARCA West Series Champion. For 2010 Johnson Jr will be making select NASCAR Truck Series Races and Super Late Model Races. Michael Bilderback joins Brian Johnson Jr as a SUPERSEAL Team Car and at 18 years of age Bilderback already has a full racing resume. Bilderback has racked up 10 Championships to date and is the youngest driver ever to win a Late Model Feature at Rockford Speedway.

SUPERSEAL has invited pre-entered SLM teams that are practicing Saturday July 10th at Slinger Speedway to have some food and drink on them. Ted Hubert understands how hard teams work during practice getting the car up to speed and the last thing the guys think of is eating. Well, they don’t have to worry, the teams will be invited to the VIP Pavilion for some fresh grilled burgers and brats and ice cold beverages.
