Default Re: Div 7 salt lake final what happened

I was not there and have no dog in this fight. But if this wen't down as described I can not believe there is not more outrage over this. I would not dive for ANYONE and I sure as heck would not wan't anyone diving for me. What satisfaction do you get from winning when it was pre arranged for you? Maybe this goes on more than I know but if he goes on and wins the championship it will be tarnished. They could of at least been smarter about how they did it. Total BS.

This sort of thing happens all the time in weekly bracket racing. My son who was in the running for the track championship at our local track was approached at 8 cars about laying down for a fellow racer for a fee. His answer....NO, race me for it.Well he lost the round, but I've never been more proud of him. Good to know he's learned integrity is priceless. Without it what have you really accomplished?

If you are one of the ones in contention for the National Championship, it is VERY important!!!

I bet nobody ever gave Helms, Fletcher, Bertozzi, Biondo, Santangelo or Taylor any free rounds!! If they did get a free round, it was much better orchestrated.

Unfortunately, Biondo did win a round at the englishtown nationals a couple of years ago driving for vinnie Barone. His team mate left before the tree was activated, I think it was Anthony Bertozzi he was racing, did Bertozzi forget how to drive?

I believe it goes on more than is noticed, Is sad if you are chasing Points


This is why motorsports is dying, think about team orders, is it a empty win? nobody seams to care as long as they get the wally

It's probably really important to somebody like Drew Skillman and Charley Downing!

What does 2nd or 3rd pay in the national points anyway?

There was a 21 point difference between Winner and R-up. 614 minus 21 equals 593...and that would have only been good enough for 5th place in the national point standing instead of 3rd.

Tony, I don't have a dog in this fight but just would like to make a point.

Ask Michael Waltrip if actions detrimental to the integrity of the sport are important... Get my drift???

There seems to be a lot of views without proof. Justin has to go to the semi final to pass Drew in Las Vegas or Georgia, 83 Points. I suppose he could also go to Noble. There are still other in the running.
