2016 Super DIRTcar Series Expands Its Boundaries

The series rolls into DIRTcar Nationals on Wednesday

By Jo Ann Davies

BARBERVILLE, Fla. - Feb. 11, 2016 - The Super DIRTcar Series schedule has taken on a new look for the 2016 season and it's one that has its touring drivers and DIRTcar Northeast's Mike Perrotte excited about the challenges awaiting them. "This year's schedule has generated a ton of interest," stated Perrotte, "and we are ready to deliver a superior dirt racing experience for all of our fans."

With the top Big-Block Modified point drivers from last season committing themselves to this year's program, as well as a couple of new followers, the title could belong to anyone at season's end. For most of the past decade the Mr. DIRTcar title has been a contest among the same three drivers-four-time SDS champion Matt Sheppard, three-time SDS champion Billy Decker, and eight-time SDS champion Brett Hearn.

Before the season even began, the 2015 Series champion, Matt Sheppard, and the second place finisher in points, Billy Decker, were each dealt the blow of being informed by their team owners they needed to look elsewhere for 2016. Speculation was rampant as to what each driver would do for the upcoming season.
