Wright Moving Up; Bridgeport Back; Other Tidbits

Another top sportsman star will be making the move up to the modified division in 2012. Justin Wright, a DIRTcar Sportsman Series star and weekly runner at Ransomville and Canandaigua will be making the move up to run both big blocks and small blocks in 2012.

Wright will run in the small block division weekly at Ransomville Speedway on Friday nights driving the Sweeting Enterprises Racing #11J that he ran in a bunch of sportsman races last season. Wright also made his 358-modified debut with the team during Super DIRT Week at Weedsport Speedway and Rolling Wheels Raceway and impressed many.

For the big-block ranks, Wright will pilot his family-owned #19w weekly at Canandaigua Motorsports Park. Wright will also do select traveling with both the big and small blocks.

Bridgeport Speedway will bring the big-blocks back in 2012 under the leadership of Doug Hoffman. Check out this week's edition of Area Auto Racing News for more info.

Ryan Susice plans on following the RoC Northern Tour this season, and will also run the combo events. He will kick his season off at Selinsgrove in March, running at least the Friday portion of the weekend. Susice will once again run weekly at Ransomville Speedway in 2012.

In case you missed it in the chat box, Jon Kellner Jr will focus on running Grandview weekly again in 2012. Jon's father, Jon Kellner Sr, is still searching for a ride.
