76er and SDW News

As previously announced (but I think I forgot to post it) Stewart Friesen will drive a second Johnny Rea-owned car at the Freedom 76er at Grandview Speedway this weekend.

Alan Johnson has now found a ride for the race, as he will pilot the Kyle Weiss-owned #21k this Saturday night at the 76er. Weiss is out for the season as he prepares for shoulder surgery.

Mike Perrotte picked up a guaranteed starting spot for the S.E.F. 200 with his win at Airborne Sunday night. Perrotte has confirmed his plans to run both a big block and a small block this year. Greg Atkins, another Airborne regular, has also announced he'll be at Super DIRT Week. The defending S.E.F. 200 Rookie of the Race qualified his 358-modified for both Saturday and Sunday at SDW in 2010, he'll try to do the same again this year.

Two more drivers have confirmed their intent to run a big block on the mile this year, as Steve Hulsizer will be there with the Harry Murphy Racing team, and Mark Flach will attempt to make his first ever S.E.F. 200.

Quebec drivers Jean Boissonneault and Jasmin Leveille have announced they'll run at Syracuse with 358-modifieds, while Willy Decker will also run the 358-race. Lance Willix, who already confirmed he'll be at the S.E.F. 200 with his #16 big block, will also drive for Kevin Gamble in the 358-race. Willix will make his return after sitting out over a month because of motor problems this weekend at Mohawk's Super DIRT Series race.
