2009 Can Am small block champion, and former 358 Dirt Series Rookie of the Year Lance Willix will be moving up to big block competition in 2010. Willix will run for the Rookie of the Year title on the Super Dirt Series tour, and will run weekly at Can Am and will run some select shows at Cayuga County. Willix may also run some of the big races at Utica Rome.
Richie Tobias, former Rite-Aid 200 champion, will be returning to modified racing, after only running the big block portion of Super Dirt Week the past 2 seasons. Tobias will be driving a blue #17 big block modified in select Super Dirt Series races and bigger paying big block races throughout the east coast. The car will be home built. Tobias may end up running the entire Super Dirt Series if sponsorship is found.
Mike Payne Racing has announced their 2010 driver. After running part-time last year with Gary Tomkins (which included a win for the team in Victoria 200 at Utica Rome Speedway which paid $10,000) Payne will field a car for weekly action at Ransomville Speedway. Danny Johnson will pilot the #7z small block modified at Ransomville next year. Johnson drove for Payne as recently as 2007, and also picked up wins with Payne at Five Mile Point Speedway in 2006 on the RoC Tour. Look for the team to also hit some RoC shows together.
