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

[Barbecueboy]

You can't expect to take advantage of the positives of sanctioning without taking the negatives along with it. The world isn't cupcakes and rainbows.

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.

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.

The pissy way the whole tire gate nonsense went down will be remembered as the venture out onto the slippery slope.

IMO of course.

Maybe some group like Ultimate could step in with something. They have a southeast and northeast deal. Could have a midwest one too.

The Ultimate deal is touring. That would just add to the regional tour clusterf*ck.

Lasalle should still run on those dates and all the drivers go there....

...and Sycamore, if it's true.

Holy !!!! what a bunch of scum bags!!!!

In theory, yes. In big block land, there was a bit if a rebellion a few years ago and a bunch of tracks left the DIRTcar fold. They're all back again. The regional points tend to pay much better than a singular track's weekly point fund, and that's why guys tend to go to a sanctioned track.

WRG posted a new schedule. Thurs june 29th is now Paducah

If that's true, it proves that this is mainly about sticking it to Izzo. Sycamore has N O T H I N G to do with what (allegedly) happened at LaSalle. I raised an eyebrow back in December when the SN schedule was released and saw LaSalle with a double header, considering the icy relationship between Izzo and WRG. Maybe it was just a gigantic "JK LOL" from WRG. It honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Jeff Babc0ck just ran a best performance car at eldora 3 weeks ago at the opener.....they gonna yank the ump sanction there too?

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

Do you have that link?

[Josh Bayko]

Why? If thats true why not just run an unsanctioned race instead? Youll still get the fans and drivers if purse is good... wouldnt ya?

They're not getting many weekly cars anyways, most of the super late guys are running one of the various regional tours in the area. It's the Summernationals dates that tracks are terrified of losing.

Hope you're wrong! It not... them MFs!!!!!

[Highside Hustler25]

I agree that's bs especially since they ran the show at Lasalle, Why did they even allow him to enter the event.

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

[Josh Bayko]

Those tracks you mentioned dont run a UMP weekly points thats the difference. Thats where UMP has them over a barrel. If the midwestern tracks boycott how many regulars will still run those tracks w/o those points for the end of the year championship?

Total B.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WRG ran the show @ the thaw brawl. They're just now implementing this fine?

All they are doing is using it as leverage to get Eric Brock to sign on the dotted line.

And they are screwing Tony at the same time.

Again, TOTAL B.S. by WRG.

EVERYONE IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS SHOULD BOYCOTT WRG UNTIL LASALLE IS REINSTATED>
