Van Horn & Hineline back at BDR 2010

While the brutal cold weather starting to settle in here in Pa, a couple of drivers have announced some of their plans for the 2010 season, warming our racing thoughts up a bit, lol.

In a recent interview by Doug Elkins on Doug's Dirt Diary, David Van Horn announced that he'll be back at Big Diamond Raceway every Friday night next season, also announcing that his Saturday night plans are still up in the air a bit, but it could be back to OCFS on Saturdays, but he wasn't ready to confirm that....DVH also mentioned that he'll be back in the same cars he ran last year, as all of them have only around 20 races on them or so....I'd look for DVH to pick up career win #2 in "God's Country" next season, backing up his first win from last year.


In a pretty recent phone conversation with Dan Hineline, he mentioned that he will be back at BDR in 2010 in his #15X sbm....Dan really impressed many last year at BDR, and almost picked off his first win at the track twice....The one Friday night Dan was GONE, CHECKED OUT, and was leading the race till around lap 19, when a mechanical failure seen him come to a stop in between turns one and two....Then a few weeks after that, Dan DUSTED the field again, this time though he took the checkered flag, the celebration was on, but a post race inspection found an issue with the carburetor on the Bicknell #15X, and it was deemed illegal, taking the win away and Dan getting the 'ole DQ....But there is no doubt in many peoples minds that Dan will get back to victory lane at BDR in 2010, with the same Bicknell chassis he ran last year, and this time it will count for good, and Hineline will add his name to the prestigeous BDR record books.
