After seeing Jake Spraker retire and return this year, it's now Randy Ross's turn, the news was broken in this week's Area Auto Racing News. Ross retired after the Florida Dirt Tour and sold all his equipment except for his Syracuse car from last year. Now, two time Super Dirt Week big block champion Jimmy Horton will be strapping into that car for the Rite-Aid 200 in less than 5 weeks. As reported on here a few weeks ago, the motor will come from an employee at Budd Olsen Speed Supply who put the entire deal together.
In other news, look for David Van Horn to possibly jump into the Randy Sherlock owned big block that Alan Johnson drove at the beginning of the year at the Lebanon Valley 200 and the Rite-Aid 200. It's not official yet, but looks like it may be happening.
Last year's Super Dirt Week Sportsman winner John Ferrier had a brand new Bicknell ready for the 358 race on the moody mile. Danny Johnson is also finally confirmed for running the Mike Petruska owned #66 at Syracuse. Also, up and comer Tommy Scheetz confirmed on SJDR that he'll be running his big block on the mile again this year.
