DIRTcar Racing has announced a successor to replace Mike Perrotte as DIRTcar Northeast director following his retirement at the end of this season, naming Dean Reynolds as director of series and sanctioning, DIRTcar Northeast.

Reynolds has served as vice president of the Empire Super Sprints since 2006, and Perrotte, who announced his retirement in May, will continue to work with Reynolds until the end of the season in order to ensure stability.

“The biggest thing I want to look at is scheduling and make it a little more racer-friendly,” Reynolds said. “I want tracks to do well. I want the purse to increase. I want more cars following the tour. I want more people at the track. It’s an all-out effort. The pieces are here. I can’t wait to start.”

Added Perrotte: “Dean will do a great job. He knows the area. He knows the racers, the promotors, and runs a series now. It’s a natural fit.”

Reynolds has worn multiple hats with the Empire Super Sprints, creating 30-plus race schedules, attracting sponsors, managing public relations, and spearheading merchandise.
