Felix Roy accomplished his Super DIRTcar Series goal in 2023 by winning Rookie of the Year. And now, he\u2019s eyeing a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Napierville, QC driver starts his 2024 season at Volusia Speedway Park during Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Feb. 14-17, his mind is on one thing. Winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to get a win,\u201d Roy said. \u201cI know it\u2019s huge, but I think we\u2019re able if everything goes well that night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy narrowly missed out on achieving his new goal last year. He finished second to Stewart Friesen at Albany-Saratoga during Malta Massive Weekend last September\u2014his best Series finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while a potential victory is on his mind, he\u2019s also working toward another achievement. Like any driver, he wants to improve his performance each season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also want a top 10 in the championship,\u201d Roy said. \u201cLast year we got 13th, but I think the competition is going to be better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsistent top 10s at the track and top fives would also be nice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make that jump a reality, Roy said he knows where to improve. He spent most of 2023 getting used to slick surfaces in New York and Pennsylvania, which differs from the heavy surfaces he raced on in Quebec, like Autodrome Drummond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI struggled on tracks that were smooth as ice,\u201d Roy said. \u201cLike when we went to Brewerton, we struggled there. Orange County, we struggled there, really at tracks with no bite at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOswego (Speedway), we didn\u2019t do too bad because it was the end of the year. I hope next year is going to be better after my first year running Big Block power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaining experience in 2023 has helped him prepare for 2024 by building a notebook for each track. He\u2019s optimistic about how that\u2019ll pay off in Florida, where he\u2019ll make his second DIRTcar Nationals appearance later this month and try to accomplish his 2024 goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur notebook has definitely grown in the past year,\u201d Roy said. \u201cFor Volusia, it was literally our first time in a Big Block. But we figured it out, and our notebook is definitely getting bigger. It\u2019s going to be good for Volusia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
