Sears In With Deek Decker

Tommy Sears will drive for Deek Decker this weekend at the Outlaw 200 at Fulton Speedway. The car had been piloted by Gary Tomkins for most of the season, however, Tomkins will be in the 673 for the Fulton race, leaving the Deek Decker owned #DEUCE without a driver. Sears is a former Fulton Speedway track champion. His BJB Motorsports 62s is being prepped for Syracuse.

No word on if it will be Tomkins or Sears driving for the team at the Hurricane 100 at Brewerton Speedway during Super DIRT Week.

Whitteker Calls it a Season Early

The 2010 358-DIRTcar Series Rookie of the Year, Luke Whitteker, who currently sits in 11th in 358 Series points, starting every race on the 2011 schedule, has decided to end his season early. Whitteker will not be able to attempt Super DIRT Week due to schooling commitments, which will be a major hit in the point standings. Because of this, he's decided to end the season with Weedsport, Rolling Wheels, Syracuse, and Brockville still left on the 358-DIRTcar Series schedule.

Cozze Returning for Eastern States Weekend

Frank Cozze Sr will return to the seat of a dirt modified for Eastern States Weekend after spending the entire season running 410 sprints. Cozze will drive the backup Craig Mitchell #93x modified in the big block division. Cozze will compete in the National Open at Williams Grove and then will race in the World of Oultaws race Saturday night of Super DIRT Week at Rolling Wheels before running the modified at Orange County.

Canandaigua big-block rising star Mike O'Brien has confirmed his plans to run Syracuse next week in the big block division. O'Brien will run the Future's Race along with attempting to qualify for the S.E.F. 200.

Add Roy to the SDW List

Just saw 'Anonymous' posted a comment on my last SDW Update, and stated that Martin Roy will be running the big block and small block race at Syracuse. I will try to confirm, whoever posted that, shoot me an e-mail at Jman97531@aol.com so I know whether or not you're credible my friend!

SDW Updates

It's been a while since I did a SDW update, so here's what I've got...

Brian McDonald will be going with a 358-modified. It'll be the same car he used last year at Syracuse, although with a new 358-motor.

Jeremiah Shingledecker will be making his first career start at Syracuse. Shingledecker will be going with the big-block. The Lernerville Speedway track champion is eligible for the Safety-Kleen Shootout that will pit all DIRTcar-sanctioned track champions against each other in a 15-lap race. Shingledecker will then attempt to qualify for the S.E.F. 200. He Will be going with his weekly Lernerville car and motor.

With Carey Terrance running so well in 358-points, Dale Planck has decided to skip running the S.E.F. 200 to focus on Carey Terrance's run in the Nationwide 150 on Saturday. Planck and Terrance will run the satellite shows.

Jeremy Wilder has had his big-block rebuilt and will be taking it to Syracuse for his first attempt to qualify for the S.E.F. 200. Wilder will also have his weekly Fonda car and the 358-motor he ran most of the season for the Nationwide 150.

Todd Burley is working on a deal to run the S.E.F. 200. If the team becomes official, he'd drive the Henry Maier #3m big block. Maier will run the team's 358-modified on Saturday.

Still nothing on Richie Tobias. He was working on a deal with Vince Gagliardo to run the S.E.F. 200 but that appears to have fallen through.

Fantasy League Updated after Grandview

http://jw4.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=301&page=1

There's the updated fantasy league standings! Next race is Fonda this Sunday. Link is also available to the left.

Howard to Petruska?

Look for Duane Howard to possibly drive for Mike Petruska Motorsports in their #66 big-block modified this Friday night at Accord Speedway for the RoC Dirt Tour event. Stay tuned for more info...

Weekend Results

A big weekend of racing is in the books, highlighted by Duane Howard's $20,000 triumph in the Freedom 76er. With the 76er, came the announcement that the 2012 Freedom 76er will pay a whopping $50,000 to win!

Also, Kevin Hartnett clinched his first career Penn Can Speedway championship with a second place finish, and I-88 Speedway has decided to end their season after flooding at the track. Jim Gabriel has been crowned track champion. Brett Hearn didn't even have to start the season finale at Accord Speedway to be clinched track champion there. Here are the rest of the weekend results…

SDW Bash on the Backstretch Update

Just wanted to give everyone an update. We've received 2-free general admission weekend passes for the 50th running of Eastern States Weekend compliments of Orange County Fair Speedway and Michael Sanchelli! We'll be giving them away at the Bash on the Backstretch (way we give them out TBD) Friday night.

We'll be starting the Bash Friday night after the heat races are done on the mile, we'll have the adult big wheel races (trophy, oversized check, and cash to the winning team) and also a live performance by singer J.P. Shaggy! We decided to see how the turnout is this year with a live performance as opposed to a DJ, so we'll see how that goes.

The Wago Juice will be flowing and we hope everyone shows up and has a good time!

For people looking to compete in the big wheel races this year, the rules are simple. Only 3-wheels can be touching the ground at the same time. Extra wheels are allowed to prevent flipping, but they can't be touching the ground unless another wheel comes off the ground. All trikes/big wheels must have a pusher and a driver, the driver is not allowed to move the trike on his/her own. Either the front wheel or the back-2 wheels must be plastic. I understand that finding plastic wheels can be tough, so shopping cart wheels or roller-blade wheels (the plastic kind, not the rubber kind) are allowed, but must be used as the back-2. Trikes must be no wider than 32 inches.

We will do time trials and heats, in order to prevent having too many trikes in the feature (ahem... last year, that was my bad) only the winner will qualify from the heats into the feature race. 2nd place will go to a 'B' main, 3rd will go to a 'C', 4th to a 'D' etc. Then, we'll run the mains, D-winner moves to the C, C-winner moves to the B, etc. Heats will be 5-laps, feature will be 10-laps.

That's all I've got. Special thanks to Zach Aubertine for his help in providing the fake check and trophy, and to Orange County Fair Speedway/Michael Sanchelli for donating 2-weekend Eastern States Weekend passes to give away!

Hope to see everyone there! Remember to all visit the other party spots throughout the week, Club Gypsum will have their D.J. rocking some great music (not sure what nights, I'd assume Friday & Saturday), the Voodoo Lounge will be having a blast every night, Thursday Night Thunder will be going on in the infield with D.J. Doug, and of course the good-ol' infield bar as well. See everyone at SDW XL!

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.

Weekend Recap; Fantasy League Update

Rex King and Jimmy Holden both did rain dances, as championship night at Sharon Speedway and Mercer Raceway Park were rained out, giving the Sharon title to King, and the Mercer championship to Holden.

Grandview ran their championship night, with Jeff Strunk coming home 12th, which was more than enough to win the track title over Duane Howard. Brett Hearn clinched the Accord Speedway title with his second place finish with 1-week left in the points-season, while Billy Pauch only has to start 1 of the twin-20s at New Egypt next week to clinch the title.

Penn Can Speedway's championship night has been postponed until next week.

Championship Weekend Results

As the season winds down, champions continue to be crowned. A boatload of championships were decided this past weekend. Here's how it all played out...

On Friday night, Glen Ridge Motorsports Park (Kenny Tremont) and Can Am Motorsports Park (Billy Dunn) were already clinched before the night began. Both drivers capped off their fine seasons with top-5 runs at their home tracks. Tremont's Glen Ridge title was his first at the track, while Dunn has now won 3-in-a-row at Can Am.

Brewerton Speedway saw Stewart Friesen enter the night as the points leader with Billy Decker and Jimmy Phelps directly behind. Friesen struggled throughout the night, and Sheppard and Phelps battled at the front of the field, with Matt Sheppard picking up the win at the title, his 2nd career at the D-shaped Dirt Demon.

Ransomville Speedway saw Pete Bicknell enter the night as the points champion with Todd Burley and Chad Brachmann hoping to steal the spotlight. All three drivers started deep in the field, and Bicknell struggled throughout the night, leaving the championship to be decided between Burley and Brachmann. Burley would finish just outside the top-5, while Brachmann would pick up the win and his first career Ransomville championship.

Big Diamond saw Jeff Strunk and Rick Laubach enter the night in a tight points battle. Laubach charged through the field, ultimately finishing 3rd, while Strunk did what he had to, finishing 7th (ultimately bumped to 6th after Ray Swinehart was DQed), netting him his 6th Big Diamond track title.

Francois Bernier and David Hebert entered the night separated by just a few points at Autodrome Granby for their 100 lapper. Hebert ran into trouble early, but soldiered on hoping for problems for Bernier. However, Bernier kept the nose clean and picked up his first career modified championship.

On Saturday night, Stewart Friesen had already clinched his second consecutive Five Mile Point title, Pete Bicknell had locked up his 21st Merrittville championship, and Danny O'Brien just needed to start the feature to win his 10th career championship at Brockville Ontario Speedway.

Canandaigua Motorsports Park had double features on the line, Justin Haers trailed Matt Sheppard by a healthy margin, but Haers cut a nice sized portion out of the points lead in the first feature, as he finished second while Sheppard finished 2nd. In the second feature, worth double-points, Haers once again finished second, but Sheppard was able to bring the car home in 3rd, picking up his 2nd career Canandaigua championship.

Lebanon Valley Speedway saw 2-championships decided, as in the big block division is was Kenny Tremont and Brett Hearn separated by just 2 points, and in the 358 division Andy Bachetti and Brett Hearn entered the night tied. Tremont went on to finish 4th, while Hearn was involved in an early crash, locking up Tremont's 13th career track title. Bachetti won the 358-feature while Hearn finished second, giving Bachetti his 3rd 358-championship at Lebanon Valley.

Orange County saw Tommy Meier and Jerry Higbie enter the final night separated by just a few points. Higbie would finish second, but Tommy Meier charged from the back 3-times after being caught up in multiple problems to win his second track title.

Fulton Speedway saw Jimmy Phelps enter the night with a comfortable points lead over Billy Decker, however, an early-crash saw Phelps lose 16-laps while making repairs, while Billy Decker went on to finish 3rd, and picked up his second consecutive Fulton title.

Airborne saw Martin Roy enter the night with a comfortable points lead over Patrick Dupree. Dupree did everything he could to win the title, as he won the feature, but Martin Roy kept the nose clean and picked up his second Airborne title.

Billy Van Pelt, Al Rudalavage, and Mike Bills entered the finale at Woodhull caught up in a very tight points chase. Rudalavage ran into problems late in the race, while Van Pelt went on to finish second and Bills ended up third, giving Van Pelt his 5th championship in a row.

Sunday saw Cornwall get rained out, but Stephane LaFrance had already clinched his first Cornwall championship.

Utica Rome Speedway has Stewart Friesen finish second, enough to lock up his third career Utica Rome championship over Bobby Varin.

Sportsmans Speedway came down to a battle between Randy Brown and veteran Joe Crawford. Crawford would pick up the win, but Brown's third place finish would be enough to give him his first career title.

Heffner wins $17,500 at LVS; Planck at Mohawk; Weekend Schedule

J.R. Heffner led wire-to-wire for his second consecutive Mr. DIRT Track USA title, picking up $17,500 for the victory. The win was the second consecutive for Heffner. The win was just the second of the year for Heffner, who's had a disappointing season.

At Mohawk in the American Revolution Mini-Series it was Dale Planck who came away with the victory. It was championship night at the track, and it was rookie Chris Raabe who took home the championship.
