Plenty of tidbits here this Thursday afternoon. Remember, the Parts Peddler is currently taking place (and will be throughout the weekend) up at the New York State Fairgrounds. A couple of drivers have their 2014 cars there. Be sure to check out the pictures posted throughout the weekend on the other great media sites (links to the left.)
Now, let's jump into the news. There were lots of questions surrounding Canandaigua Motorsports Park as Jeremie Corcoran expressed his frustration with the organization. Those questions can now be laid to rest as Canandaigua has announced they will once again be DIRTcar sanctioned in 2014. Even more exciting, the Super DIRTcar Series will return to the "Land of Legends" on April 19th for the Jan Corcoran Memorial. The Series last competed at Canandaigua in the spring of 2012.
As expected, Five Mile Point Speedway has responded to Brett Deyo moving the Short Track SuperNationals to I-88 Speedway by announcing their own race. Andrew Harpell has announced a $5,000-to-win, $500-to-start, 50-lap feature event for the modifieds. Rules will be similar to the Short Track SuperNationals with the exception of sail panels. The race will be held October 11, the same night as the Short Track SuperNationals at I-88.
New Egypt Speedway head-honcho Fred Vahlsing has kept the positive racing news coming by announcing the the modifieds will run for $2,500 to win on a weekly basis in 2014. The purse will be increased throughout the field.
Three more young talents are moving to the modified division full-time next season. All three have a few modified starts under there belt, and all three were very impressive in those runs.
Utica Rome Speedway sporstman champion, Matt Janczuk, has announced he will be moving up to the modified division full-time in 2014 at Utica Rome Speedway. Janzuk hopes to do some traveling as well.
Kyle Merkel has traded in his late model for a new Bicknell after a very impressive late model career. The young hotshoe will be running weekly at Big Diamond. Expect Merkel to support the Brett Deyo promoted shows while hitting some end of the year specials.
Following a very sportsman campaign, Brett Kressley will be running weekly in the modified division weekly at Big Diamond. Kressley hopes to run some local big-money shows, and will also have his sportsman equipment. Kressley's father, Brian, will continue to run the team's big-block on a part-time basis.
