DIRTcar Momentum Continues; Other Tidbits

We've still got over a month of racing to go in the 2013 season, but the 2014 off-season has already been exciting for modified racing fans.

Monday I had posted that the Norm Hansell Racing seat was open for 2014. Brett Deyo has corrected me, and informed me that Norm and Frank Cozze have worked out a deal that will see Cozze return to the 357 next season. Expect the team to run a similar schedule to what they did in 2013.

The Rogue Motorsports #22 and the Gary Spotts Racing #91 seats have already been filled for next season, look for announcements from those teams coming shortly.

The modified division at Big Diamond Raceway will be DIRTcar-sanctioned for the first time ever in 2014. An official announcement will be out from DIRTcar/Big Diamond on Thursday, and an interview with Big Diamond's leader Jake Smulley appears in this week's Area Auto Racing News.

Speaking of DIRTcar, look for an announcement on the 2014 leadership at Fonda to be made by next week. Matt DeLorenzo/BBL are still the leading candidates to take over the facility, and if it happens Fonda Speedway will be DIRTcar-sanctioned for next season as well.

Look for a big announcement regarding the 2014 Short Track Super Nationals later this off-season.
