Kevin Bolland could be done with dirt modified racing following some controversy between himself and the BRP Modified Tour. You can read the story on his website, here, http://www.kevinbolland.com/news/09_11-07.html
I know Bolland was planning on stepping up his program for 2010, and was in the process of purchasing a new stacker hauler and buying all new equipment, so the fact that his equipment is up for sale doesn't mean that he's made up his mind that he's done with modified racing.
He took the BRP Tour guarenteed starting spot for the Rite-Aid 200 after Rex King, Dave Murdick, Del Rougeux, and Jeremiah Shingledecker turned it down. Brian Swartzlander, who was the only BRP Tour driver at Super Dirt Week, was then forced to qualify the car and ended up DNQing. Bolland, who ended up not making the show, was then penalized 2 races from the BRP Tour for taking the spot and not using it at Syracuse. He then put Alan Johnson in his car for the BRP Tour finale at Lernerville Speedway, where he ultimately finished second behind Del Rougeux. While Bolland didn't go to Syracuse, he tried hard to find a ride, contacting multiple sponsors and car owners like Steve Hough, Jody Gable, and Chris Shultz trying to find a ride to race at Syracuse, so he definitely didn't take the starting spot out of spite. If I hear anything about it, I'll be sure to let you guys know!
