    The WRG snow job got you. This is not just all about the Josh Richards thing. There has been a back and forth thing going on between Izzo ans Driggers for several years. UMP didn't want any track to have a Lucas oil race, unless they where grandfathered in. Amazingly the tracks affected lost their sanction and grandfather. Then WRG scheduled on top of LaSalle with Rockford fiasco and expected Izzo to run that date any how but he didn't and as promised 3 SN dates the next year. Then came the Richards deal. Richards said he was car owner. Driggers magically knew he wasn't and instead of clearing it up as a good sanctioning pardner would, he left and imposed the penalties he wanted to impose on the Rockford deal. Bottom line is Driggers and WRG is an oppressive Sanctioning body and most tracks would be better off, with out.

        Tony has much blame as Sam in the whole deal. Let's not forget that UMP is going to cut a lot of people checks he in a couple of months. You got to think about that before you talk about all the negative stuff.

            Tony put the responsibility of saying Richards can't race on Diggers. Driggers weaseled out and ran. Then back stabbed him.

                Richards was not Banned. Richards said he was the car owner on entry. Tony wanted it in writing from Driggers, saying he coudl not race. No one can blame Tony for that. Best already sued Eldora and WRG.

                Cars are loaned leased all the time. The baggage of the owner, does not come with the car. We can speculate that everyone knew that it wasn't loaned or leased to Richards, but no one could prove it or Driggers would have put it in writing. Babcok drove a Best car the week before and no problem at Eldora. Of course WRG didn't want to pull Eldora's sanction. They got Farmer City and 34 raceway on a similar deal. Sam handled it just right, to pull LaSalles sanction. He's a Weasel.
