So teams and or drivers were allowed to go to the office Monday and file complaints/ protests? I’m curious how many did?

The arrogance from many who are employed in Speedway is amazing. Looking at social media posts, one such person wondered out loud, what next, Boycott???......Your right, Boycott....For those going to the shows, enjoy the BS

Ok, Put your track out of business because a sanction F'd up. Good one!

Where's Sprint week next year? Paragon and Brownstown? not much left.

Ok Charles I kind of get your point but….. It was explained to me on a thread back in the past that I don’t understand that I travel to these races to see Usac. I wasn’t going for the cars and teams on the track but indeed I was going to see the sanction. The person to explain to me what I’m not smart enough to discern was the very very quiet Mr. Funk. After this revelation, I must assume that since I attend for the sanction, bankrupting tracks is just collateral damage.

It’s really a shame that as ISW and Smackdown approach we are mired in this situation. Of course I do like the fact that capitalism is alive and well with t shirt wars. Lots of money to be made by RB, and BB with the Make Racing Honest Again and the cry baby blue shirts that will sell.

Enjoy the week and whatever events you attend.

We dealt with the track boycotts down here in the Houston area. Worked great. Of all of the tracks that once were, Battleground Speedway is gone. Gator Motorsports Park is gone. Houston Raceway Park is gone. Big H Speedway is paved and largely irrelevant. Golden Triangle Raceway Park is gone. And this is a metro area of over 6 million people. . . . one quarter mile dirt track left 50 miles north of Houston and one fifth mile track 40 miles south of Houston. That is all that is left. I guess the boycotters got their wish . . . .

Did they boycott one sanction for a week and moved on after proving a point or was this a much larger issue?
