Sears In With Deek Decker

Tommy Sears will drive for Deek Decker this weekend at the Outlaw 200 at Fulton Speedway. The car had been piloted by Gary Tomkins for most of the season, however, Tomkins will be in the 673 for the Fulton race, leaving the Deek Decker owned #DEUCE without a driver. Sears is a former Fulton Speedway track champion. His BJB Motorsports 62s is being prepped for Syracuse.

No word on if it will be Tomkins or Sears driving for the team at the Hurricane 100 at Brewerton Speedway during Super DIRT Week.

Whitteker Calls it a Season Early

The 2010 358-DIRTcar Series Rookie of the Year, Luke Whitteker, who currently sits in 11th in 358 Series points, starting every race on the 2011 schedule, has decided to end his season early. Whitteker will not be able to attempt Super DIRT Week due to schooling commitments, which will be a major hit in the point standings. Because of this, he's decided to end the season with Weedsport, Rolling Wheels, Syracuse, and Brockville still left on the 358-DIRTcar Series schedule.

Cozze Returning for Eastern States Weekend

Frank Cozze Sr will return to the seat of a dirt modified for Eastern States Weekend after spending the entire season running 410 sprints. Cozze will drive the backup Craig Mitchell #93x modified in the big block division. Cozze will compete in the National Open at Williams Grove and then will race in the World of Oultaws race Saturday night of Super DIRT Week at Rolling Wheels before running the modified at Orange County.

Canandaigua big-block rising star Mike O'Brien has confirmed his plans to run Syracuse next week in the big block division. O'Brien will run the Future's Race along with attempting to qualify for the S.E.F. 200.

Add Roy to the SDW List

Just saw 'Anonymous' posted a comment on my last SDW Update, and stated that Martin Roy will be running the big block and small block race at Syracuse. I will try to confirm, whoever posted that, shoot me an e-mail at Jman97531@aol.com so I know whether or not you're credible my friend!

SDW Updates

It's been a while since I did a SDW update, so here's what I've got...

Brian McDonald will be going with a 358-modified. It'll be the same car he used last year at Syracuse, although with a new 358-motor.

Jeremiah Shingledecker will be making his first career start at Syracuse. Shingledecker will be going with the big-block. The Lernerville Speedway track champion is eligible for the Safety-Kleen Shootout that will pit all DIRTcar-sanctioned track champions against each other in a 15-lap race. Shingledecker will then attempt to qualify for the S.E.F. 200. He Will be going with his weekly Lernerville car and motor.

With Carey Terrance running so well in 358-points, Dale Planck has decided to skip running the S.E.F. 200 to focus on Carey Terrance's run in the Nationwide 150 on Saturday. Planck and Terrance will run the satellite shows.

Jeremy Wilder has had his big-block rebuilt and will be taking it to Syracuse for his first attempt to qualify for the S.E.F. 200. Wilder will also have his weekly Fonda car and the 358-motor he ran most of the season for the Nationwide 150.

Todd Burley is working on a deal to run the S.E.F. 200. If the team becomes official, he'd drive the Henry Maier #3m big block. Maier will run the team's 358-modified on Saturday.

Still nothing on Richie Tobias. He was working on a deal with Vince Gagliardo to run the S.E.F. 200 but that appears to have fallen through.

There's the updated fantasy league standings! Next race is Fonda this Sunday. Link is also available to the left.

Howard to Petruska?

Look for Duane Howard to possibly drive for Mike Petruska Motorsports in their #66 big-block modified this Friday night at Accord Speedway for the RoC Dirt Tour event. Stay tuned for more info...

Weekend Results

A big weekend of racing is in the books, highlighted by Duane Howard's $20,000 triumph in the Freedom 76er. With the 76er, came the announcement that the 2012 Freedom 76er will pay a whopping $50,000 to win!

Also, Kevin Hartnett clinched his first career Penn Can Speedway championship with a second place finish, and I-88 Speedway has decided to end their season after flooding at the track. Jim Gabriel has been crowned track champion. Brett Hearn didn't even have to start the season finale at Accord Speedway to be clinched track champion there. Here are the rest of the weekend results…
