Johnny Scarborough, one of Fonda Speedway's top sportsman drivers for quite some time, will be making the move up to the big-block modified division in 2012 with the help of legendary car-owner Marty Burdick (who will supply the engines). Scarborough will once again call Fonda Speedway home, but plans on doing a bit of traveling. He has confirmed to Area Auto Racing News that he will be at Volusia in February, and will also run the big-block portion of Selinsgrove.
Speaking of Selinsgrove, look for an announcement about a raised purse for both the small block and the big block races this year. They've already announced both nights will pay $300 to take the green.
Jesse Kline is in the process of purchasing a PA-Legal 358 per Randy Kane. He will use that motor and an older car to travel to select RoC events and also plans to attempt the Freedom 76er at Grandview. He will still run weekly at Orange County Fair Speedway on Saturdays, but may run a few select events with the PA-Legal 358 at Accord on Friday nights. Jesses's dad, Bruce Kline, will focus solely on racing at Orange County on Saturday nights, but with a newer chassis.
Asphalt modified star Erick Rudolph will return to dirt modifieds after a one-year absence. Rudolph will run weekly at Ransomville Speedway with some traveling mixed in. Rudolph's main focus will be on the asphalt modified division once again. He will be driving an Heinke-Baldwin Motorsports car in both asphalt and dirt modified competition.
No surprise here, but Brett Hearn has confirmed he will once again be attending Volusia in February.
Look for Grandview Speedway to replace the RoC Dirt Tour event that was on their schedule in 2011 with a return of the Super DIRTcar Series.
Lernerville Speedway is also interested in bringing the Super DIRTcar Series back to PA.
Two rumors floating around are; Team FAST, which fielded cars for Meme and A.J. DeSantis over the past few seasons, is selling out, and that Jimmy Horton is out of the Dick Biever owned #14 for 2012. Both of these tidbits are rumors, I'll see if I can dig anything up on either.
