Brett Hearn Taking Aim at a Record Sixth Super DIRT Week Crown in 2012
Veteran racer on top of his game heading into 41st Annual NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week
WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – Sept. 4, 2012 – Brett Hearn, five-time winner of the VP Small Engine Fuels 200 and seven-time Super DIRTcar Series titlist, is looking ahead to Oct. 3-7 for the biggest annual DIRTcar race of the season, the 41st NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week at the New York State Fairgrounds.
“Syracuse is a much different race and is a much different animal than anything we ever run,” said Hearn on Tuesday afternoon as the first guest on weekly Super DIRT Week calls with media members. “You don’t go there to watch a 30-lap sprint, you go there to watch a long race. Now you’ve got pit strategy and crew members playing into it.”

Given the nature of the race, Hearn struggles deciding whether to build a car special for the VP Small Engine Fuels 200, a 200-mile Big-Block Modified race Sunday, Oct. 7, or use a car he has been familiar and successful with during the season. Last year, Hearn decided to build a new car and plans to use that car again this year. (more…)
