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

[dirtdobber45]

Tyler County runs both WoO and Lucas. So does Port Royal. So does Tazewell. So does Atomic. Fayetteville, Smoky Mountain, Cherokee and Duck River, too. It's only the midwestern tracks that have issues.

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?

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.

If that is true, why does the track have to pay the price? Just drop the hammer on the team and leave the track out of it if that's what happened. Can WRG prove that the track knew anything about it?

Sycamore lost there night also

Where did you see that?

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.

O Really. Go ask Fayette County Speedway (Brownstown, Illinois) Promoter Charlie Depew on Facebook what they said to him if he had a Lucas race this year (2017)? Same with FALS before PDC was a woo race. Tony Izzo was gonna have a Lucas race there too be fore he moved one of his 2 Lucas race to non-dirtcar tracks in Wisconsin. Heard that from a few sources close to him.

Tracks can and do run both WRG sanctioned and Lucas events with no issue whatsoever. If there's problems between the two parties, it's not because of that.

Everybody boycotting WRG/UMP is funny. Lets boycott tracks for enforcing rules but bitch about no tech the rest of the year. I would be willing to bet this best performance issue is more they said the paperwork was done and nobody double checked it before letting them race. Double Booking the Thaw Brawl and Illini100 would kill LaSalle speedway. Much more support for FCR than LaSalle. The last year LaSalle ran a whole season their locals were running at FALS and Peoria.

Well after what MARS did at Burlington I am boycotting all WRG events. I had planned on attending 15 this year. Not anymore. F them.

WRG sold MARS this year. Thats the new ownership that is going to run MARS in the ground

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

[bullring]

UMP does not like Tony Izzo since he runs Lucas Oil and IMCA events. I probably shouldn't have posted that...it was a poor choice of words.

And he used to have WOO sprints once a year also. Now he has IRA/MOWA sprints which has to be a fraction of a WOO sanction

[Highside Hustler25]

The UMP tracks that have Lucas races where grandfathered in when DIRTcar threw a fit about UMP tracks having Lucas races instead of WOO LMS races. Any UMP Track that has a Lucas race will be subject to penalties unless you where one of these tracks grandfathered into the agreement. As I have said in the past World Racing Group (W.R.G.) / DIRTcar is a complete an absolute JOKE to dirt racing.

This is FACT. Their was a track that didn't get a Hell Tour date this year because they TALKED with Lucas about a race.

You have a better chance of seeing God than seeing the midwestern tracks risk their "precious" Summernationals races.

I never said I thought it would happen. I just said that's what it would take.
