Hey guys, just wanted to give you a little update. Expect a once-a-week update over the next few weeks. I'll get back into the swing of things a little better later in the off-season, but for now unless some major news breaks it'll mostly be a once-a-week thing.
We'll start off with Glenn Hyneman. I've gotten the go-ahead to release that Duane Howard is all-but-signed with the Hyneman 126 team. The defending Grandview Speedway track champion will continue to drive for Chad Sinon's BPG Racing in weekly competition, but travel with Hyneman. Again, this is not the official announcement, but the announcement shouldn't be too far away.
Can Am Motorsports Park will be going back to running on Friday nights in 2013. The track ran on Saturday nights in 2012.
Speaking of Can Am, there is talk that they may drop the modified division in 2013. The track struggled with car counts in recent years, and Christine Martin has already announced she will run Penn Can instead of Can Am in 2013. Zach Aubertine, the 2011 Can Am modified championship runner-up appears to be leaving the track as well regardless of what they do with the modified division. Look for Aubertine to focus on running the 358 DIRTcar Series while running weekly and Mohawk International Speedway and/or Brockville Ontario Speedway.
Kevin Smith, a former sportsman standout at Big Diamond Speedway who has significantly scaled back on his racing in 2012, will be moving up to the modified division for weekly competition at Big Diamond.
Look for sportsman Super DIRT Week winner Rocky Warner to go big-block racing on a part-time basis in 2013. Warner competed in some big-block events with his sportsman motor towards the end of the season at Glen Ridge.
Brett Deyo has announced 2 dates for races he will promote at Penn Can Speedway for 2013. The first will be the annual RoC Dirt Tour sanctioned "Clash at the Can" on June 11th, and the second will be the $5,000-to-win "King of the Can" on October 18th. Deyo announced a third promotion back in October for June 18th at New Egypt Speedway for the Super DIRTcar Series sanctioned "Dirty Jersey 60."
Also, just wanted to wish a congratulations to our good friend Billy Pauch Jr on his recent marriage!
