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

[TackyTracker]

why would the best team even go if they hadn't signed correct doc's??? wouldn't they know the team was still suspended???

Im going to say a kick back was on the cooler and never made to the grubby ump hands. Why else did it take them till now to take action?

After reading the article on DoD, this is all on Tony Izzo. He was told to not let them race and he chose to let them race anyway. There are consequences for your actions and Mr. Izzo is finding that out. Hopefully, he learns from his mistake and does not repeat it in the future.

Why would it be on Izzo? He was told not to let Best racing run. When Richards says Best sold it and Tony has no proof they didn't. What is Tony to do? Deny a entry that could be proved with a pre dated bill of sale for a team that is known to be litigious. Driggers was there. He didn't stop the entry. It took a month of investigating to find the entry is bogus. Izzo didn't have a month or a investigator. WRG is totally in the wrong. They where there and could have stopped that entry and didn't. The, I didn't want to do it BS, is BS. Driggers could have handled it better and didn't

Maybe this ain't such a bad thing... Wrg imo scewed themselves really good this time. Piss off enough teams, tracks and promoters like Izzo... won't take take long before the fat laddy sings...

I remember driving north on I-39 to LaSalle that Friday and seeing the DIRTcar vehicle driving south. I thought that was odd at the time. So at least that part is true. I'd like to hear Tony's side of the story.

Who knows? Maybe the Driggers guy was afraid to go down in person and tell the son of the most influential team owner on the WoO tour that he couldn't race.

If it's a UMP event, shouldn't the UMP boss go down and inform the team? Instead of just getting in his truck and driving away?

I would think the track promoter's job is to bring the fans in on race night and make sure the track was ready to race and running smoothly behind the scenes, while the series people took care of series events. But maybe that's just crazy talk.

Lol, so lets all take lessons from Sam on how tell guys like Richards to put it on the trailer??? Ok lol.

That visual is hysterical to me......thanks for the lol.

So there was nobody from woo that night that could have told them to load it up?

Not sure how the contract is actually set up , but I believe they have the trump card on who races and this could have easily been avoided............pretty pissy way to do it, also avoidable with the right leadership and business culture in place.

I'll take the varsity squad for the win.......

Dam right!! The underclassman better pull their big boy jocks up TIGHT!!!

This is starting to look like a war is about to brake out between Lucas and WRG...

Didn't Farmer City try a F UMP race a few years ago

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.

Florence has had Lucas races for years, but they got a Summernational date about 3 years ago. They don't have it anymore, but I don't know what the reason is.
