I blame this on Kwasniewski crashing too much.

Re: Turner Scott Motorsports shuts down truck team
Such a disappointment that one of the more competitive teams in the Truck Series is no longer around.
Re: Turner Scott Motorsports shuts down truck team
Really sad to hear that, TSM was a great team. Developing great drivers. Sad to see them go
Truck field just got weaker.
Rumor : Turner and Scott are separating? according to twitter/haney

ThorSport will win every driver championship now till the series closes with Kyle Busch continuously winning owners championships, cause that's the only championship he can win now in days.
I feel bad for Ron Hornaday cause this screws him out of any championship hopes he had unless he finds a ride somewhere quick or makes his own team.

Re: Turner Scott Motorsports shuts down truck team
TSM has had some unbelievably talented development drivers lately, and a lot of them. I wounder how dire of an effect that this could have on them moving up the NASCAR ranks for the team.
This is really disappointing to hear, and one of the last things that the Truck Series needs right now.

Another update has been added to that article:
Godfather Motorsports Blog wrote:UPDATE: 5:15 PM ET -- Several employees of TSM have confirmed that they were laid off -- at least temporarily -- at approximately 3 PM ET today.
I'm still very confused as to what's going on. Hopefully there will be more updates to clarify the situation soon.

Re: Turner Scott Motorsports shuts down truck team
From what i'm getting is power struggle between Turner and Scott.
That really sucks to see one of the bigger truck teams gone especially when they're having trouble with entries on non short tracks.

Re: Turner Scott Motorsports shuts down truck team
PDATE 5: The legal tussling over Turner Scott Motorsports spreads over two states as co-owner Steve Turner has sued co-owner Harry Scott in Texas court, and Scott has field a notice of complaint in North Carolina court. Turner filed his suit Aug. 11, and Scott filed his paperwork Wednesday after the team announced that Ron Hornaday would not race this weekend in Canada. Hornaday is fourth in the Camping World Truck Series standings. Turner, who seeks more than $3 million in his lawsuit, alleges that he has been forced to lend money to the race team to keep it from defaulting on its bills. It alleges that Scott - who bought 40 percent of the team in 2012 - hasn't taken responsibility for payment to vendors. It alleges that Scott agreed that a $2 million debt to Turner that existed at the time the partnership was formed was to be repaid by the race team, and so far, none of that debt has been repaid. "Scott has refused to approve actions that are necessary and material to the business, leaving the Company unable to operate," the lawsuit states. Turner also asks for a receiver to be appointed to run the company and that Scott be removed from his leadership role in the race team. Scott, in turn, stated in his North Carolina filing that he will ask for a receiver to run the team without Turner. Scott, according to documents obtained by the Sporting News, filed a notice of suit Wednesday by asking for an extension of time to file a complaint against Turner. He has 20 days to file the suit.(Sporting News)(8-29-2014)
Interesting that Turner accuses Scott of not paying bills and such, since Scott accused Turner of the same thing.

And the distinctive stench that only comes from a nasty divorce.
