Two of the most notable drivers in the 100 Acre Wood may not be coming to this year's event, set for Feb. 25-26 in Dent and surrounding counties.
Local volunteer and organizer Rob Benowitz said popular racer Travis Pastrana is not scheduled to be at the annual event, which is the second event in the Rally America Championship series.
"Travis has signed with the Michael Waltrip NASCAR team to run some races in the NASCAR series," Benowitz said.
Benowitz said it is also not certain as to whether Ken Block and his partner, Alex Gelsomino, will be in Dent County. The two have won five straight 100-Acre Wood rallies.
However, Benowitz said the organizers are expecting a good field of driving teams, including the team of David Higgins and Dave Mirra.
"There are a lot of people around who are familiar with that team," Benowitz said. "We are expecting a good turnout for this year's events."
Registration for the event will be held noon to 7 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Dent County Fire Protection District building. Volunteer registration will be held 4-8 p.m. Feb. 24 at the fire district.
The events start with a meet and greet session 1 p.m Feb. 25 in Potosi, and the race starts at 2:30 p.m. The Feb. 26 events include a public viewing of the cars and an opportunity to meet the drivers, and a 10 a.m. start in Salem. Driving teams are expected to finish at the courthouse around 9 p.m. with an awards ceremony following.
Teams from coast to coast will race to crown winners in three national and seven regional classes.
