Dunn Benson Motorsports Official Statement about the Tire Infraction and Appeal

[Centeroff]

WOO is desperate. Let’s penalize you, you appeal it and we drop the penalty. Keeps those dummies talking. Smh

[fryefan]

I must have missed something. I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything about the penalty being dropped. The only thing I see that "dropped" was the fine amount from $13640 down to $2000. Dunn-Benson still lost over $15300 in winnings and lab fee's because of an illegal tire. The 30 day suspension has been lifted and I assume the fine has been paid. I figure that paying the fine is the only thing that could possibly keep him from racing with the WoO. If DB don't enter and WoO/UMP events then that's on them. The racing will continue without them.

I saw an article on Dirt-on-Dirt last week that stated what you are pointing out (or something very close to it anyway).

It was reported that Simpson got a motor from Hoker not Bobby.Is this true. If true why?

Yesterday's Dirt-on-Dirt article about Bobby said that he was running a motor from Hoker on Saturday night.

With that being said, Chris Simpson might have been running one of Hoker's motors as well (I don't know one way or the other). I am pretty sure that he is a sponsor on Chris' car as well.

I don't think Shep ran the family car -- he was banned too.I just think it is a crock of $hit that they claim those 4 SN races counted as his penalty. Typically, the penalty doesn't start until after appeal.

Not true last year madden served his penalty while appealing without ever missing a outlaw show

You all are missing the big picture...what if Bobby wins these next 2 races or finishes say top 3. That's when people really start asking about DB Team.

Bobby's familiar with both tracks. Especially FALS. I would expect top 5 @ both barring no bad luck.

Hoker sponsors both drivers. The engine Bobby ran saturday was purchased for him by Hoker last year for knoxville.

Why? The cars have been in Oakwood more than they have been in Dunn lately. I can't see Bob having a race car sit in his shop and him not touch it, especially when they're his cars. He was with them during all the problems last week. I dont see what were missing?

Unless you've been under a rock, there are many whispers happening about the relationship between DB and Pierce family. If he goes off and wins the PDC without the support of any of the DB Team after having several DNF's, it will naturally fuel the fire to rumors.

Enlighten us as to the whispers.

I guess we've been under a rock. There are no problems....hush the whispers.

lol I don't know if there is or not. One thing is for sure tho, you can't take the words of heartbroken bloomer fans as facts. I mean Christ this forum blew up bashing several drivers after saturday simply because Scott didn't win.

It all looks to me like Bob became the owner of a racecar as a front. I don't believe for one minute that he donated 2 $60,000 cars to team financially capable of owning their own. By saying Bob owns the car takes the heat off of the team for running a Chevy engine in car owned by a Ford dealer and it also distances DB from WRG, which it appears they are in a squabble with. Then add in that Bobby has sponsors wanting him at these races.

I could be wrong tho, I was one other time.

That's not going to happen if he wins this weekend. There are no problems? Ok, we will go with that.

[t4g2]

An the opposite of that what happens if same issues happen to this car?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Seems as though quite a few are pretty confident he's going to win this weekend...
