Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole deal of this past weekend was Wythe wouldn't run crates and 'The Gap' wouldn't run supers Saturday. Not only did 'The Gap' run supers, but they drew more cars than Wythe. And Fred lost the crates for the night. I don't know what went wrong, but it doesn't sound like everyone had their stories straight. Anyone have any info?

Does anyone have any information, confirmation, on Bulls Gap running super lates on this past Saturday July 1st?

thanks

That really did turn out upside down, I don't know what happened with that but I don't have an explanation for it. It was put to me as if the Gap wanted the Crates and made a deal not to run the Supers so Wythe would not run the Crates. Well, Wythe did not run the crates with the exception of Matthew Parks Qualifying his crate car to run in the super race but if sure looks like Volunteer put a "GAP" in communications and ran the Supers anyway, oooohh well, maybe I was wrong and did not hear the information on the deal correctly. I am sorry if I mislead anyone.

Not laying any blame on you or Fred. I figured Joe realized how many fans he would loose to Atomic and Wythe and decided to try and keep some of them. I was just curious if anyone knew officially what happened. Anyway, I bet Fred will have second thoughts about making a deal with Joe Loven again.

[Dirtncracer]

I was wondering the same thing, from the results of the crate race, looks like only 2 or 3 cars from Wythe made the race. I agree with u drtlmfan if there was a deal to not run crates , and Wythe got the shaft it wont be forgotten.
