Now LaSalle Speedway and Josh Richards in trouble with WRG / DIRTcar

[GRT62]

So what does the track have to do with a driver filing a deceptive entry? That's the part I'm not understanding.

[Josh Bayko]

I heard there is more to this story. Heard Best Motorsports said they sold everything to Riggs Motorsports which they signed in as the owner at the La Salle race. Said WRG investigated it and found out it was bogus.

The article on DoD says that Richards was penalized for filing a deceptive entry. I'm gonna say that you've probably got the story right.

When Jeff Babc0ck ran the Best Performance car at the Eldora season opener they could have entered in as Lawrence Motorsports as well. I think Mike "Saus" Lawrence is wrenching on that car for Best this year since he's not running his own car.

UMP Summer Nationals Website - www.thehelltour.com I seen the updated schedule last night as well and both LaSalle dates went to Brownstown Speedway. It appears the article has been pulled for now.

Ya its odd, i know for a fact it was the helltour website, now its back to the old schedule

That does seem like bs to me. Whats good for the goose... yall know the end.

I did notice they had Riggs motorsports on the car that weekend, but I'm almost certain that has been on the car for quite awhile, pretty much since the teams came together.

What pkracer is saying has me wondering if that's what happened here too.

They took away the Summer Nationals races? Holy cow. But I predict Izzo will ultimately prevail in this situation, and not in court or something like that. He'll do things his way and I bet other tracks will follow suit, not only in support of LaSalle Speedway, but for the betterment of their own facility as well. I bet a few years from now, when things are different (for the better) in our sport, we might look back and see this as one of the turning points.

Man I hope your correct I would love to see tracks leave UMP be the best thing that's happened to st louis area tracks in a long long time

I have no problem with WRG enfrocing their rules but, to allow Richards and Best motorsports to
enter the event then do this. That I don't agree with.

[kidrock]

That's my point. I'm not defending Best. It's Tony and LaSalle that are getting screwed. Not right.

That's WRG for yeah!!

It also isn't about back room deals and do whatever you want cause it's always worked before either........people are smarter than that.

It's no secret the ump guys have a hard on for certain folks, they don't hide it very well.

Why should they hide it? Cuts down on bullsh*t.

[Barbecueboy]

You could be right but it definitely is a issue here in the Midwest. Every track is WRG/Dirtcar/UMP here in the Midwest. Their really is no option for the racer or track. You kiss their butts or else.

It's exactly why it works so well at those tracks Josh mentioned in the southeast.......they aren't chained to one master.
