In other news, the Van Pelt brothers have announced plans for 2010. Curt Van Pelt, one of the all-time greats at Woodhull Raceway, has announced he'll retire from racing. Billy Van Pelt, who drove for Ted White Racing the past few seasons, will return to the Kevin Chilson Racing team, as a teammate to Kevin Dunning and Frank Dunning for weekly action at Woodhull Raceway. Ted White will take over ownership at Woodhull Raceway, so he won't field a car weekly, but look for Van Pelt to run his car once again on the RoC Dirt Tour and in other special events in 2010.
