Siri, Volusia, McGinnis, Graham and Accord Tidbits

Tyler Siri is the latest driver to confirm he'll be making the jump up to the big-block modified division in 2012. Siri will run weekly at Canandaigua this season with his #5 car. The youngster will be kicking his season off at Volusia in a few weeks, but will have veteran Steve Paine the car the first 2-nights, and Siri will run the final 2-nights of the DIRTcar Nationals.

Jeff McGinnis has landed a ride driving for Jerry Skurski Racing in 2012. McGinnis, one of the more underrated modified stars, will run for the team weekly at Ranomsville Speedway. As previously noted, Skurski's 2011 driver, Ryan Susice, will be driving his family-funded team in 2012 at Ransomville and the RoC Northern Tour.

Look for Brett Graham to return full-time in the modified ranks this season. The team is currently looking at running Accord weekly and Orange County part-time with select traveling mixed in.

Accord Speedway has announced that this year they not have sail panels on the modifieds. Accord has been running sail panels on their headline division since the mid-2000s.
