Tracks Making 2014 Plans; Howard/BPG & Johnson/Petruska Split; Gypsum?

Ah, I wish it was last week at this time. I can't explain how much I love Super DIRT Week, hell, I go into a semi-depression mode for a few days when it's all over for the year. Oh well, 356 days until Super DIRT Week XLIII. Now, let's get caught up on some news...

The big news was the 2014 Super DIRTcar Series schedule. DIRTcar released an early-version of the Series schedule that includes 20 dates and 18 tracks. Big Diamond Raceway, Glen Ridge Motorsports Park, Weedsport Speedway, Fulton Speedway, and Utica Rome Speedway are all new additions to the schedule. The only track from the 2013 schedule that will not be back is I-96 Speedway in Michigan. The facility wanted the Series to return, but DIRTcar has decided that it was in the best interest of the teams not to force it's teams to make the long haul.

The only tracks that have multiple Super DIRTcar Series events scheduled are Autodrome Drummond (dates in July and September) and The Dirt Track at Charlotte (back-to-back races at the World Finals).

DIRTcar also officially announced that Brewerton and Glen Ridge would return to being sanctioned by DIRTcar in 2014. There are as many as 5 more tracks that are seriously looking into running under DIRTcar sanction.

Fulton Speedway is seriously considering running 358s as their weekly division. From what I can gather, while it is a possibilty, more than likely the facility will stick with the big-blocks.

Weedsport Speedway is still unsure of their plans for 2014. They may end up running a schedule for big-blocks similar to what Humberstone Speedway did this past season, scheduling 8-10 races with a point fund to give drivers DIRT home-track points.

Speaking of Humberstone Speedway, Clinton Geoffrey confirmed that the big-blocks will be back again in 2014, even with the influx of new tracks sanctioning big-blocks.

New Egypt Speedway and Utica Rome Speedway appear to be the only 2 tracks that will host both the Super DIRTcar Series and the RoC Dirt Tour at some point in 2014.

Thunder Mountain Speedway has officially announced that Carl Spoonhower will take over the facility for 2014 and will bring the modifieds back as the headlining class. Spoonhower has already began putting new clay onto the track.

Now, onto driver news. BPG Racing has announced (again) that they are getting out of racing. Look for driver Duane Howard to team up full-time with Glenn Hyneman for 2014 and switch to running weekly at Bridgeport Speedway. Howard will also run more races aboard the Dick Biever 14 in special shows.

Danny Johnson and Mike Petruska Motorsports have parted ways. The third stint between Johnson and Petruska resulted in only 1 win, which came at the RoC Dirt Tour event at Utica Rome Speedway. Stewart Friesen will drive the Petruska 66 at the Eastern States 200. The team is unsure of their plans for 2014. Danny Johnson will be aboard his own #27J in both big-block and small block competition this weekend during the DIRTcar Fall Nationals at Brockville Ontario Speedway. He's looking for a ride beyond that point.

Don't be surprised to see big changes coming to Gypsum Racing for the 2014 season. Stay tuned for updates.

Butler Has Career Night; Albany Not Going Anywhere; Clair Focusing on 358

The fall season means lots of high-profiled races. Last night New Egypt Speedway hosted the first annual All-Star Challenge which was worth $10,000 to the winner. Gary Butler looked strong early in the event, but it was Billy Pauch Jr who swept to the lead just before the half-way point and looked to be on his way to the biggest win of his career. However, mechanical issues with just 10-laps to go forced him to drop out of the event, giving the lead back to Butler. From there, Gary Butler went on to pick up his 4th win of the season, and the biggest win of his career. Here's the top-5...

New Egypt Speedway (40 laps $10,000 to win)
1st 68 Gary Butler
2nd 1c Craig Von Dohren
3rd JR1 Rocco Infante
4th 323 Neal Williams
5th 747 Ryan Godown

Von Dohren's second place finish was enough to give him the innagural All-Star Championship.

Rumors have swirled throughout the summer that Albany-Saratoga Speedway would not re-open in 2013, fueled by Howie Commander's lease on the facility being up at the end of 2013. However, Albany-Saratoga Speedway has announced that Commander's lease has been extended through 2018, guaranteeing racing at the facility for the next 5 seasons.

Cornwall Speedway track champion Mario Clair was planning on taking a big-block and a small block to the "moody mile" during Super DIRT Week, however, engine issues has forced him to withdrawal his big-block entry. Clair will still compete at Super DIRT Week with his 358-modified, and will enter the satellite events at Weedsport and Brewerton.

Driver Updates; Super DIRT Week Updates

Remember, there is a mid-week show this week. New Egypt Speedway will host the All-Star Challenge for the small block modifieds which will pay $10,000 to win. It will kick-off another huge weekend of fall modified racing, highlighted by the Outlaw 200 at Fulton Speedway.

Danny Johnson has landed a ride for Thursday's All-Star Challenge at New Egypt. Johnson will pilot John Stangle's #6, a car that Johnson has won with at New Egypt in the past.

Also, retired modified star Chic Cossaboone will make his return to the seat of a big-block this Saturday at Bridgeport's $3,000 to win Poker Series event. Cossaboone will pilot the Townsend Racing #11a machine.


Now let's talk about Super DIRT Week...

In case you missed it, Brewerton's Thursday event during Super DIRT Week will now be a 358 DIRTcar Series event. It will still be $10,000 to win. Rolling Wheels has cancelled the Thursday event, but will still host the Tuesday Super DIRTcar Series make-up from Labor Day weekend and will still host Saturday's Win and You're In 25-lapper for the big-blocks (plus World of Outlaw Sprints).

Duane Howard and Marcus Dinkins have confirmed they will be running Super DIRT Week with big-blocks. Howard will team up with Dick Biever for the assault and the duo will also run Charlotte together. Kyle Weiss will be making the tow up to run the satellite races, and tentatively plans to run the mile with his small block as well. Here's a look at the updated entry lists...

DIRTcar Having a Great 2014 Already!

Expect an announcement shortly regarding Thursday night of Super DIRT Week XLII. Brewerton Speedway's Hurricaine 100 will now be a DIRTcar 358-Series race, and Rolling Wheels will cancel their Thursday program. In return, Brewerton will cancel their 360 sprint and 360 late model event scheduled for Friday of Super DIRT Week.

Expect more announcements regarding Fulton and Brewerton at Super DIRT Week. As we previously mentioned, Glen Ridge and Can Am are basically done deals to be DIRT sanctioned in 2014. Media day at Super DIRT Week will have a bunch of fun announcements, as at least 4 tracks will host Super DIRTcar Series events in 2014 that were not part of the schedule in 2013.

Tracks Looking towards '14; Paine Lands Ride; SDW Update

The big news over the past week has been Glen Ridge Motorsports Park. The facility has all-but-announced that Mike Sowle, who has put up big money at quite a few facilities this year, will join the current staff as the new promotor. Sowle has been told both Race Pro Weekly and modified columnist Tom Boggie that Glen Ridge will switch to Sunday nights in 2013, and will operate under DIRTcar-sanction.

Another track announcing big changes and looking to go DIRTcar-sanctioned is Can Am Motorsports Park. The track has been purchased by a new group of investors, and the plan is to bring the modifieds back as a headline class and run under the DIRTcar banner. Can Am did not host a single modified race in '13.

Speaking of DIRTcar, they struggled for a few years but have been enjoying a rejuvination over the last few years. Along with Glen Ridge and Can Am coming on board with DIRT-sanctioning, look for an announcement to come during Super DIRT Week in regards to a surprising edition to the 2014 Super DIRTcar Series schedule.

Thunder Mountain Speedway appears to also being experiencing some change. There's a group looking to purchase the Southern Tier property, and also bring back the modifieds as the headliner. Modifieds have not ran at Thunder Mountain weekly since 2011. The only scheduled appearance for the modifieds this year was cancelled.

Mountain Speedway has announced they'll host another dirt-modified race this Sunday, September 29th. This will be Mountain Speedway's third modified event of the year (first 2 won by Mark Levy and Aleia Geisler) as they look into the possibility of running the class weekly in 2014.

Look for a "new" tour to be announced in the off-season. The tour will not run in competition with DIRTcar or RoC, and in fact will include both a RoC and a Super DIRTcar Series event on it's schedule.

Woodhull Raceway's biggest star, Billy Van Pelt, will not be in action for the track's biggest race which takes place this Saturday. Van Pelt will be in Florida, but has announced that Steve Paine will pilot Van Pelt's car at Woodhull this weekend.
