Todd Burley has announced he will retire from modified racing. Burley, a multi-track champion, ran weekly at Ransomville and Utica Rome this season, picking up 3 wins this season and finishing in the top-5 in points at both speedways. We wish Todd all the best, and will miss seeing the popular 89B (and the 16B) on the track.
Also stealing headlines, Utica Rome Speedway has announced that they will return to Nascar sanctioning this season. Utica Rome will also host the RoC Dirt Tour, and the Super DIRTcar Series this season, and has also announced that they will make their only conflicting date with the Super DIRTcar Series a non-points race to allow their drivers to follow the tour.
Two drivers have announced they will make the full-time jump to the modified division in 2014. Granby sportsman champion Steve Bernier will try to dethrone his brother, two-time defending Granby small block champion Francois Bernier, in 2014. Steve Bernier ran a couple of late season events with the small block, and even picked up a win in a special $6,000-to-win 150 lap event at the big 1/2 mile.
Jared Umbenhauer, the Big Diamond and Grandview sportsman champion from this season, will move up to full-time small block competition after running part-time the past few seasons. The Derfler Motorsports team will move up with Umbenhauer to field a car for him at Big Diamond, while the Eastern Rigging Racing #11 will field a car for Umbenhauer in special shows.
