The ASA Stars National Tour was busy on Father’s Day racing at the Milwaukee Mile this weekend. A hard crash by Justin Mondeik, however, highlighted some safety concerns for some. The crash included two hits on walls not protected by SAFER barriers.
Roger Penske went to the track to see if it had a future in IndyCar, and he mentioned that the track has a ways to go in terms of safety.
The Burke Realm calls the lack of SAFER barriers “not good”.
JJWolf0498 wants SAFER Barriers on the inside wall.
AJ is glad that they did not hit the opening in the wall.
torak says that Milwaukee is not ready for the Truck Series yet.
Brett supports the track, but he does admit there needs to be more SAFER barriers added.
jctools11 says that these types of carsz cars should not be on this track.
At the end of the day, it is an ASA race, which is tough to compare to NASCAR. However, the lack of SAFER barriers at some key parts of the race track is not a good thing to see. Hopefully nothing becomes too problematic at Milwaukee in August for the Truck Series.
Chris Gabehart has responded to Joe Gibbs Racing’s lawsuit, strongly denying the allegations and calling the claims “false,” “frivolous,” and “retaliatory” in a public statement released this Friday.
After the lawsuit became public, on Thursday, Gabehart spoke out for the first time, stating that he did not share any confidential JGR information with Spire Motorsports or any third parties and that he intends to prove that in court. He also said a third-party forensic review of his personal devices found no evidence supporting the accusations, adding that JGR declined an offer to examine Spire’s systems before filing suit.
“Yesterday afternoon, Joe Gibbs Racing filed a lawsuit claiming — falsely — that I shared JGR confidential information with Spire Motorsports and/or other unnamed third parties… I feel compelled to speak out today and forcefully and emphatically deny these frivolous and retaliatory claims.”
Gabehart said he will address the matter further in a formal legal response in the coming days.
