Enders and Jeggie switch to Mopar

[MR DERBY CITY]

Money,money,money,......AJ forced out after 20 years with Mopar,hopefully he secures funding for the 2016 season.

I don't know the facts here, but it would also seem to be a statement about backing from GM. Here we have two multiple world champs who won with chevy and they can't seem to secure backing from chevy.

Now that's sad.

Roy and Allen Johnson epitomize what a PRO team should be IMO. MOPAR kicking them to the curb (so they can sell more econo-Darts?) is yet another example of 'it's all about the $$'. Have all the respect in the world for Erica. Back in 2008 I went to the Seattle race and stopped in Auburn at Mickey D's and the whole Cunningham crew dropped in (minus Mr C of course) and was really impressed by how she conducted herself when I exchanged a few words with her. Jeggie, not so much...

My XMAS wish is that Westcott gets the Mustang out and kicks all their butts.

Love Erica too, she is a great person. Jeggie comes across as he is better than everyone else, not impressed with him. I guess when you have money you can act that way.JMO

I Think you have the wrong take on Jeggie. He loves sportman racing and I have always found he to be a great guy. He has always been friendly to me. I do have a yellow Car though.

I also think Jeggie is a good guy and likes sportsman racing-two years ago at seattle nationals he jumped in my buddy's 72 challenger and they drove around the pit area talking to fans and racers-and they both had a blast-Brian Seaberg B/S 428

I would agree. Even though he sponsors many many other sportsman races,he has supported the A/S and A/SA Challenge over the years. One year, he was super busy at INDY but made time to call me on my cell. He and his wife along with their pup. Met me in the pits on their golf cart and personally delivered gift certificates. Sounds like a small thing, but it isn't. No doubt, they operate on a budget most of us can't understand, but there are many people with the same business interests and means that don't give sportsman racing a second thought. I think we can cut him some slack.

The Jeg's boys are down to earth - nice guys, they always say hi and take time to chat.

In 2010 at St. Louis, Jerry Duke won Super Gas, his first National Event, a little less than two years after his brother Ronnie passed away. After all the pictures were taken, we were loading up preparing to go home, and Samantha showed up in our pits. It seems that Jeg found out about Jerry's very special win, and sent the big Lucas banner from the winner's circle over to Jerry as a gift. It meant a great deal to Jerry, as well as to Kevin Cradduck and to me, it was a very special weekend. Jeg and his bunch are good people, and real friends to the sportsman racers.

Same here. I saw Jeggie @ Topeka last year. He and his dog were watching the Sportsman classes run. He seemed to be very cordial.
