    Fansfund driver drops

    This is crazy. 30+ drivers entered them selves and 15 were chosen to race a 10 or 12 laps race on Friday night. $2500 To Win and $1650 To Start and $28,150 for the 15 cars and there dropping like flies. Down to 10 drivers coming of the over 30 that entered. I hope the Fansfund adds Rodney Sanders, Jason Krohn, Nick Anvalink, and a couple other guys.

      This has nothing to do with Cedar Lake, more about drivers not accepting $1650 To Start and $2600 to win for showing up.

        I think the point is do not accept something 2 weeks ago and then back out last minute. It's unprofessional for a group is basically helping support your expenses to come this weekend.

              Moyer Jr., McCreadie, G R Smith, Zobrist and many others voted in and declined right away or in the last week or two.

                  I always thought the fans entered the drivers not themselves. Besides as I have stated every year this thing comes up it is stupid that Moyer, McCreadie, etc. would be voted upon and get that money.

                    They said this year they had to call in to receive votes. They made a list of interested drivers before the voting started. Not sure about Moyer but he's not a Fansfund Car this year, JR was.

                      Things change. Moyer Jr posted he would not be going after he had a post looking for crew guys to go. A guy can't race these days without help. I'm thinking the Davenport announcement is why GR Smith dropped out. I'm sure they all have good reason for changing their minds.

                        Classic case of entitlement here. Guy is mad because a few drivers backed out so he takes to social media to complain. There's a lot of other guys who are here and it will be a great show. People like TUTY need to realize it's not cheap to race and these guys do a lot of traveling so they're not always going to be able to make it. This race pays 50K to win so there's always gonna be good cars and it's always a good race worth coming to no matter who's not here. If a race team backs out last second don't act like a kindergartner and cry about it. Act like an adult and realize that's how life goes and you still have something great right in front of you. Has someone ever asked you to be somewhere but you couldn't make it?

                          For TMac is makes perfect sense... he already hadn't been home in 3-4 weeks... and wouldn't have another off weekend until Oct 13-14

                            Both Moyers are always looking for help. Similar to Bloomquist. Is it just not there anymore in the area they live?

                              Just because he is not going to race in the fans fund race does not mean he will not race for the $50,000 to win. I hope and I believe that he will be there this weekend...
