I would be dismissed immediately. We wouldn't have our team's and drivers without NASCAR. But then again we also don't have NASCAR without our driver's and teams. I'm Team 23XI and FRM all the way. Have been since the start.

Yea Anita, it's gonna get messy. I read legal documents today in which the commissioner Phelps called Richard Childress a redneck and other choice things. It's upsetting that it's gotten so nasty.

I'm of the camp that the jury trial will never take place. It will get so nasty in the legal prep that there will be a settlement. I have no knowledge of this. I just feel its going to get really bad from what I read today. Super nasty. Good points. You are dismissed :)

Yes, I've been reading and watching the different YouTube videos all day. What Steve, Steve and Ben put out there daily make them seem like very likable people, and I have liked them. I have even expressed being very proud of where Ben's been taking NASCAR. But apparently like a lot of people on social media, they only show the good. Though I have felt for years that NASCAR has always had "their" best interest in mind and not that of the team owner's or driver's. A really sad situation we, the NASCAR fans are facing. 🥺

Great story, I've been looking for one on potential jurors. Much has been made of MJ playing a major roll at trial. Bob P reported earlier that NAS might use a mock jury. IMO they're the wild card. They could draw from a urban area, or from the heartland areas, that is NASCAR country up there. The Speedway in Concord has had a big impact on the area. It will be worth watching if it goes to trial.

Yea - I wrote about probable mock jury in prep. Amazing to think of who might be fair as a jury in that. Thanks for reading Tom. Means a lot!
