2010 Atlantic Series due out today

Word is that the 2010 Atlantic Series schedule will be released today. We hear 12 to 13 races will be listed. We also hear that things are looking up for the series with 16 to 18 cars expected on the grid, up from 2009 where 10 to 12 cars was the norm. We hear that Cooper Tires, Mazda, and Cosworth will all be back.

Long-time Atlantic Series boss Vikki O'Connor spent the past year bringing John Brunner, VP of Operations up to speed on running the day-to-day operations with the goal for Vikki to take a step back and enjoy life a bit more after 25 years at the helm. As we understand it Vikki will be retained as a series consultant.
