David Van Horn News; Bunch of Tidbits

David Van Horn will officially be teaming up with Randy Sherlock for the Lebanon Valley 200 Saturday night hoping to win the $10,000 for winning the big block feature. The team will decide from there on other plans. Van Horn will also be at the Freedom 76er using a motor borrowed from Dick Biever's team usually driven by Rick Laubach.

In other news, Keith Hoffman will be running Big Diamond weekly in 2008, I'm not allowed to say who the team is, but if you've been reading the blog you should be able to figure out who the team is. Looks like the Toby Tobias H&H Motorsports deal may have fallen through, Billy Colton and Bob Lineman are still working on finding Tobias a ride for Syracuse though. Last year's Super Dirt Week sportsman winner John Ferrier, all-time great Jack Johnson, and Lebanon Valley regular Roy Bridge are going to Syracuse with small blocks, Johnson will also be going with a brand new Teo for the big block race as well. Danny Johnson and Mike Petruska will also be teaming up for SDW. Stay tuned for some other big name big block/late model drivers finalizing Dirt Week big block plans.

Jeff Heotzler's return with the Mike Sparta Racing team was short lived. Heotzler crashed hard in the points finale last Saturday, which left him wondering about his Eastern States plans, since the Mike Petruska #66 team will be running with Danny Johnson and Jared Petruska. However, Yesterday's on Heotzler's website there is a little blog stating to stay tuned for news on Eastern States. Don't be surprised to see it be the Smith Brother #74 car. Heotzler was very close to driving for them when he originally lost the Petruska ride to Johnson in early July, and with it being a Super Dirt Series race Brett Hearn will be driving the Madsen Motorsports #20. Stay tuned!
