announced his retirement in May<\/a>, will continue to work with Reynolds until the end of the season in order to ensure stability and continued success.<\/p>\nOfficially stepping into his role on September 10, Reynolds will use the transition period to get a feel for the position, but he is ambitious about the future. \u201cThe biggest thing I want to look at is scheduling and make it a little more racer-friendly. 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\u2019s an all-out effort. The pieces are here. I can\u2019t wait to start.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDean will do a great job,\u201d assured Perrotte, who looks forward to working with Reynolds for the next few months. \u201cHe knows the area. He knows the racers, the promotors, and runs a series now. It\u2019s a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perrotte joined DIRTcar Racing in early 2015, overseeing the Northeast region with a team focus, fostering the pipeline of talent, and working together with tracks, promotors, and drivers to make a better racing experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cMike [Perrotte] elevated the communication and rapport with the participants, race teams, and team owners,\u201d said DIRTcar President Tom Deery. \u201cHis background as a driver and track promoter was unique and extremely valuable to the Series.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reynolds will build off this trajectory with his broad experience in the dirt world. \u201cHe brings a loaded resume into the motorsports universe,\u201d continued Deery, \u201cwith first-hand knowledge of every aspect of dirt car racing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reynolds has worn numerous hats with the Empire Super Sprints, creating 30-plus race schedules, attracting sponsorships, managing public relations, and even spearheading merchandise. Needless to say, Reynolds brings experience, enthusiasm, and momentum into his new role with DIRTcar.<\/p>\n
Perrotte trusts the strength of the DIRTcar Northeast team will facilitate Reynolds\u2019 ability to take over seamlessly. \u201cIt\u2019ll be a pretty smooth transition for Dean,\u201d he said. \u201cThe team that we have in place in the Northeast is really strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reynolds agrees and hopes he can take DIRTcar Northeast to the next level. \u201cThere are already so many good people in place,\u201d said Reynolds. \u201cI just want to see if I can bring a little bit more to the table and make this grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
It took a once in a lifetime opportunity to pull Reynolds away from a job he loves \u2014 a job with AT&T that he\u2019s excelled at for eleven years. And his commitment is strong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI quit my job after eleven years,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to do this for at least 10 years. This is my third job in 31 years. I am very faithful to the people that employ me. I\u2019m in it for the long haul. This is about the only job that would make me leave my current job.\u201d<\/p>\n
One thing is for certain: Dean Reynolds is ready to tackle the challenges before him, and he assures fans and drivers alike, \u201cI\u2019ve always been a Modified guy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
