[RadioMan]

Tomorrow Night!!!

[bleedsbluer2]

Tomorrow Night!!!

you never answered the question on dustin linville he is the point leader of your series and since its your series why cant he race it

[RadioMan]

You will have to ask the race track that question, that decision was out of the series' hands since the altercation occurred at one of their events, not a STARS MDRL race. We don't get in the middle of business like that.

maybe you should get in the middle of it since its your series and he is loyal running the entire series if in fact its your series then your points drivers should be allowed to race so your telling me that the tacketts are telling you how to run your series

bleedsbluer2:

If you would like to speak to me about this matter in person or on the phone, you know how to get in contact with me. I am not discussing anymore about this situation on this message board.

Thank you,
Chris Tilley
