Horton Officially a Free Agent

It's official, Jimmy Horton and Dick Biever Racing have parted ways. The two sides struggled through mechanical woes and major streaks of bad luck throughout 2011 and were only able to collect 1 win in 2011. Special thanks for Jimmy Horton IV for allowing me to break the story.

Horton, who ran weekly for Dieter Schmidt along with select RoC and Super DIRTcar Series races, also drove in about 10 races in special shows for Dieter Schmidt in 2011, expect him to return to that team on a part-time basis at least. Horton is apparently already working towards 2012.

Dick Biever Racing's famous #14 has had an all-star cast of drivers over the years including Elvin Felty, Terry Meitzler, Rick Laubach, and Doug Manmiller. Look for the team to land another high-profile driver. Ryan Godown and Kenny Brightbill are two big-names that recently lost their rides and could be good fits.
