The Eskilstuna team has previously announced that they will not be in the elite series this year, because of the fact that they can not have an audience.

Due to the coronal situation, the Norrköping team Vargarna have chosen to refrain from division 1 this year and now the smiths have accepted the vacancy. 

- A good and important decision made by our board. We have to do what we can to give our younger drivers the opportunity to get guaranteed matches this season, "Sports Manager Jimmy Jansson said in a comment in the Facebook post. 

The smiths' first round is run in Gislaved on Sunday.
