When I come back around I see the board has the #18 on the inside and me on the outside with the lap car (#30) no where on the board. I was unsure as to why we were lined up this way. I thought it may have been an error in scoring as the #30 and #18 look very similar. I stopped to ask a track official.
The track official stated that "Eric has the board, talk to him" so I attempted to stop on the front stretch and ask Eric about it as I was told to do. Before I could even stop I was black flagged. It would have took Eric (the board man) 5 seconds to explain to me why I was in 3rd place now instead of 2nd and I would have been fine with starting there but that obviously wasn't the case.
As far as me getting out of the car...At that point I could care less about holding up a race that I just got screwed out of. I got out to talk with the board man about the line up (like I was told to do) and obviously that wouldn't work with me in my car since he wouldn't come up to me. The wrecker driver saw that I was not in my car and had no right to push in through the signs. If they wanted it moved they should have hooked up to it and towed it where they wanted to.
There's not a whole lot to say about it. Someone gets screwed there weekly, guess it was just my turn this time. That will be my last trip there, I heard many other drivers and fans say the same thing last night and I hope its holds true. If nobody shows up it will make it hard for them to screw people over.
Nobody even knows who made the calls last night. There was nobody actually running the track, just a bunch of track workers with no direction. After everything calmed down I asked to speak with whoever made the call. I was told that I couldn't do that and that they would call me this week to talk about it.
So I expect to be hearing from Greg this week with an apology and a check for my 2nd place winnings
Also I would like to thank all the fans for there support. They probably are the most loyal fans any race track could ask for. Its just a shame that have to put up with the BS week after week. I hope they can find a new race track in the area to support!
