Rossville, Indiana (January 27, 2022)………Cole Bodine will take on the full, 51-race USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship tour in 2022 with DCT Racing as the team expands its operation to compete on the full trail for the first time.
The team will field two sprint cars with Cole Bodine tabbed to drive the No. 57B and select development drivers in the No. 57c throughout the campaign.
For its first event of 2022, DCT will compete in Winter Dirt Games XIII at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla. on February 17-18-19 with 23-year-old Rossville, Indiana’s Bodine along with 16-year-old Jack Hoyer.
Bodine, a veteran of 17 career USAC National Sprint Cars and coming off a 19th place finish in the standings one year ago, will be making his return to the series while Frankfort, Indiana’s Hoyer will be making his first appearance in a USAC national event.
“It’s been a long winter making these cars as perfect as I can make them,” Bodine said. “I’m hungrier than ever to get back on the track and see what we can do. I’m thankful for the people in my corner helping me live the dream.”

Today, we feel like we have the pieces in place to do that. We are also grateful that with good sponsors, we have the opportunity to field a second car that will open the door for new talent and other drivers looking for a team to race with.”
