Team BRP to Launch Assault on 2010 Victory Lane at Volusia |
For Release - Friday February 5, 2010
From Jim Irvine-- Bicknell Racing Products Public Relations St. Catharines, Ontario – (February 5) With Pete Bicknell himself perhaps the final driver to score a win in 2009 – one of the largest ever contingents of Team BRP drivers are all looking to be among the first to win in 2010.
Bicknell’s December pre-Christmas win of course came in his first ever visit to the Maryborough Speedway during a whirlwind tour of Queensland Australia – capping off a 670 plus win season for the cutting edge chassis and components manufacturer.
When the 39th Florida DIRTcar Nationals By University of Northwestern Ohio comes to life at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville Florida – February 10-13th – many of the almost 30 strong BRP-chassied racers will look to draw on previous success. In last year’s 38th edition on the strength of his first 2 feature wins in the Sunshine State – Team Gypsum Driver Pat Ward won the Florida title with perennial down south competitor Jamie Mills earning a single win in the 4 race series.
Ward’s team-mate and 2008 Mr. DIRTcar Champ Billy Decker would surely like to keep the pre-season mini-series crown within the John Wight-owned race team.
Ward – from Genoa NY earned his first DIRTcar Nationals Title in 2004.
The Gypsum Team also will include 18 year old up and comer Larry Wight.
Billy Pauch – the lone New Jersey driver is also a two time Florida Champ. 13 years separated his two titles – the last coming in 2008.
One driver who will surely be looking to pick right where he left off in 2009 is Matt Sheppard who came within 4 points of 2009 Mr. DIRTcar Champion Brett Hearn and his first Big Block Championship.
Sheppard enjoyed quite a strong finish last season in winning the final three Super DIRTcar Series Tour events - including the Super DIRT Week Rite Aid 200 finale at Syracuse.
The Waterloo NY second generation driver who led DIRTcar Northeast with 20 Big-Block triumphs in ’09 - has yet to visit Victory Lane in 5 visits to Florida to date.
Sheppard will be joined by team-mate Jeff Brownell Jr.
