Eric Kingsley Racing will be re-uniting with former driver Alan Johnson for an assault on Super Dirt Week, along with some other Super Dirt Series shows. Kingsley returned to the dirt modified owners role late last year and he and Jake Spraker formed a partnership that had Alan Johnson win a slew of Series races late in the year. Kingsley in 2009 has had Tommy Sears running his cars at select specials, but the two parted ways on friendly terms.
J.R. Heffner, multiple time Lebanon Valley Speedway track champion, will be heading to Super Dirt Week for the 200 lap big block race, but not with the team he originally planned with. Instead of running the Dwyer Motorsports #88 he had run the previous handful of years, he will be driving for Jody Gable Motorsports on the Moody Mile. Heffner announced about a month ago his plans to run for Gable at Mr. DIRT Track USA at Lebanon Valley, but now Super Dirt Week has been added to their schedule.
Jimmy Horton IV will be driving for Boinke Motorsports aboard their #19 big block modified for the rest of the year at Bridgeport Speedway.
Look for Tom Mayberry, who ran in the $10,000 to win Forrest Rogers Memorial for DiNatale Motorsports, marking his return to dirt modified racing, to run the in Freedom 76er for the team, along with select other dates when time permits.
Buzzie Reutimann will attempt to qualify Mike Kolka's back-up big block modified for this year's Eastern States 200.
Rite-Aid, as of now, is out of sponsorship for Super Dirt Week, however, DIRT is working with them to try to get them to remain the sponsor of the headline event at Super Dirt Week for at least 2009. Check Area Auto Racing News in the next few weeks for a feature story.
