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

[Black F]

some sanctions are much better than others......all of them don't deserve to be thrown under the same blanket.

None are perfect ,but some actually strive to be ....and it shows.

Ok, the one in question. Which is widely branched out and needs to be put in check, immediately!!

The entire article is on DoD. It's an interview with Driggers. It explains the entire situation.

I saw this and I bet it has everything to do with this. Which makes what WRG is doing even more terrible. I hope Mark takes the Rocket House Car to Lucas next year. Pretty scumbagy if you ask me

What a fiasco! What do Sanctioning bodies have to gain from this!! They shot themselves in the foot here...

Thats just BS. WRG has a monopoly going on in the midwest. I guess until tracks in the midwest grow a pair theyll be crapped on anyway WRG wants... sad

The majority have been preaching this for sometime now. It would be up to the racers as well to pull anything off.

its kinda like watching an old friend pass away slowly.........

Being said, I've been to some stellar ump/wrg stuff over the years and like everybody else wish things were a little different now a days,hard for me to sit here and judge what I see now versus what wish I was still seeing from them.....I'm not in their shoes.

The fact that it was discussed at all between izzo and wrg prior would say that they knew it may happen and it's just silly that they ( wrg)didn't just man up and walk down there and tell them to pay up or get lost.

the tracks may have lost a few dates, woo /wrg lost some cred points with a lot of folks........that's a pretty stupid prize for them to win right about now.

I still don't understand why Sam Driggers didn't go to Best Motorsports pit and tell them they could not race the event until they signed the paperwork.

$ and control.

The teams are as smart or smarter than the ump/wrg sanctioneers right now and the rule makers can't stand it....Reminds me of the old Steinbrenner effect with the Yankees.

The drivers and teams are the Billy Martin of that scenario.

You can go to Sycamore FB page to the hell tour announcement. I posted well guess we shall never see what could've been. They responded with crying emojis.
Go look....

If you read the comments AFTER my second post, someone else states they also seen the schedule.

It had brownstown with a double header now, paducah taking over sycamore date.

Im assuming they released it a touch early and pulledit back. Theres no link on the page i went off and the original schedule is back up.

Eat a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Phil. Ill be there Saturday night. I told you where I sit, come talk to me

You have my apologies. I sit in 4 on top directly in frount of the orange start tire when there... Come say hello.

[Black F]

who should I be outraged at? I need to be outraged.

For the sake of dlm racing... You better be outaged with sanctioning!

It was co-sanctioned with ALMS.

Sycamore is cancelled. "Everyone that has purchased advanced tickets to either Sycamore or Lasalle Speedways Summer National events have been issued a complete refund of their money back to their method of payment. Refunds may take 4 to 5 business days before appearing. We thank you for your support and understanding regarding this matter."

Thats a dam shame. Everyone loses on this deal!!!

[Black F]

It also says that Izzo was warned what would happen if they let Best race.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Regardless Josh... If we all don't get on the tracks and promoters side (drivers and fans)... We're going to possibly lose this great sport!!

So if WRG doesnt own MARS why are they even fining them? It was a MARS event wasnt it? Or is it because LaSalle is a UMP track?

It was co-sanctioned with ALMS.
