2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
2017 Season Information
Mods:
GripAll Challenge Series: DMR_Cup90_cts
Imago Super Late Model Tour: LMP1
Due Date for Drivers, Paintschemes and Ratings: TBA
- GripAll Challenge Series:
- The GripAll Challenge Series is the main of the two NAAC touring series, formed in the late 80's as an answer to the SCRA.
The championship bases much of its racing in the American northeast and eastern Canada, with the 2017 schedule dedicating 13 of its 22 races to the region. The series is perceived as the largest stock car racing sanctioning body outside of PCC and often serves the purpose of driver development, even more so with the advent of the promotion/relegation system employed by PCC, which impedes teams from participating in more than one series.
- Imago Super Late Model Tour:
- The Imago Super Late Model tour is a summer series that only contests races in the northeastern United States. More often than not its field is composed by veterans from the GripAll challenge and rookies seeking to take their first steps into stardom. The short, 8 race calendar allows multiple teams to contest it without needing to travel nationally.
- ratings system:
- The system will be the same across both series.
In NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, each AI car has a set of ratings that determines its competitiveness in multiple categories.
The ratings that people are to send in are divided into the following sections:- ratings sections:
- SECTION 1 - DRIVER TRAITS
Aggression
Consistency
Finishing
Qualifying
SECTION 2 - DRIVER SKILLS BY TRACK TYPE
Road Course
Short Track
Speedway
Superspeedway
SECTION 3 - CAR (This is determined by the team owner, and all cars on the same team must have the same ratings)
Aerodynamics
Chassis
Engine
Reliability
All pit crews will be rated 0-100 in everything except Strategy, which will be 80-100.
For each section, you will submit ratings of 3, 6, 9, and 12. These are the numbers added to the base rating in each section. If you do not send me ratings, you will default to the base ratings with no modifications, which will be a slight disadvantage.- ratings classes:
- In NAAC, drivers and teams are separated into ratings stacks.
There are 5 classes of base ratings, which I will assign to teams myself. Most of the new drivers and teams will be placed in Classes C and D by default. I am taking prior performance and established budget into consideration for returning drivers and teams.
CLASS A
SECTIONS 1 & 2
All: 50-80
SECTION 3
Aero & Chassis: 50-80
Engine (V6): 30-80
Engine (L4): 50-70
Reliability: 0-80
CLASS B
SECTIONS 1 & 2
All: 50-80
SECTION 3
Aero & Chassis: 50-70
Engine (V6): 30-80
Engine (L4): 50-70
Reliability: 10-70
CLASS C
SECTIONS 1 & 2
All: 40-70
SECTION 3
Aero & Chassis: 40-60
Engine (V6): 30-80
Engine (L4): 50-70
Reliability: 20-60
CLASS D
SECTIONS 1 & 2
All: 20-70
SECTION 3
Aero & Chassis: 20-60
Engine (V6): 30-80
Engine (L4): 50-70
Reliability: 40-40
CLASS F
SECTIONS 1 & 2
All: 0-20
SECTION 3
Aero & Chassis: 0-20
Engine (V6): 0-20
Engine (L4): 0-10
Reliability: 0-20
Ratings class assignments for all drivers and teams in all four FARC touring series are listed in the spoilers below, organized alphabetically by first name. Drivers and teams will remain in the same class regardless of the series that they participate in.- driver classes:

Desert Star Motorsports to enter NAAC in 2017 season
Desert Star Motorsports, formerly known for winning championships in several lower tiers of motorsports, as well as having a FARC Elite Series win to their name at Toledo in 2015, have announced they will enter the inaugural season of the North American Auto Club series with cousins Lucy and Tammy Barnton driving for the team.
Both the Barnton's have enjoyed success in their racing careers, as Lucy Barnton finished 2nd in the 2012 ARLA Trucks series, as well as earning a best finish of 2nd at Mosport in the ARLA Elite Series in 2013. Tammy Barnton managed to win the 2013 ARLA Trucks championship, and followed it up with a Rookie Shootout and Smash Beer 500 victory in 2014. Barnton also won a FARC Elite Series race at the Tulsa Expo Center with Tom Delgado Racing.
The team have had experience with the Omecha body before, having participated in the 2014 NRC season, interestingly with Caitlin Richler and Riley McKee, who are currently set to continue their careers as sophomores in the PART series on the other side of the split.
The teams cars will see Tammy Barnton in a familiar #83 Bitter Pills machine, while Lucy Barnton will drive the #87 sponsored by Lewis and Ricky's. The team have elected to use Saar engines, but have yet to confirm what tire they will use in the series.
Atkins to race Superspeedway events?
While Ben Atkins is a team owner on the other side of the split, there is a rumour going around that Atkins could be participating in the Superspeedway events at Auto Club and Talladega for a team not owned by himself. While Atkins has yet to mention the rumour, a source has said that the team he runs for could be a factory team for one of the tires companies participating in the series.

Reach Motors to enter NAAC
Team owner, Lorne Stevenson announced his intentions to return to stock car racing with the NAAC as a base. Stevenson and Reach Motors were last seen at what would have been the 2011 finale to the now-defunct VSCC. No other information regarding the team is announced other than their intention to run a 2-car operation with Lorne Stevenson himself running the #71 machine with the use of Inglesby engines and Bridgestone tires. The only information about the team's other entry is that the car number will be #90.

Ernest Lewis Racing moves to NAAC in 2017
Major PART team, Ernest Lewis Racing has jumped ship to the NAAC in 2017. The top-tier team is considered the major player, with tough competition from Matthews Atlantic Motorsports.
Ernest Lewis: It's going to be a great season hopefully, not just for us, both this whole league.
Rebbeca Pellerin had some interesting comments on this.
Pellerin: Since I first joined PART, they would never listen, I remember the Watkins Glen race, where people kept crashing, and nothing was done about it. Some people that day needed to be gone for a long time, but PART is all about getting the views, and it caused a lot of crap in the garage. Look at how many drivers got hurt, it's was way more than it should've.
Q: Is this reaction because of your failed attempt at the PART title?
Pellerin: We've heard rumors about a split for a while, and talking to Ernest, we wanted to be in this new sanction ever since, our cries for safety and competent officiating was not listened. I wanted to win a PART title, really badly, especially for my family, but it wasn't meant to be. I want to be the first champ here. It would leave a lasting legacy on the sport. I plan to make NAAC better, I want the best competitors in the world in here, a series I believe in. That's why I made the jump.

Mason Yokoyama plans to enter two cars in NAAC
Owner-driver Mason Yokoyama plans on entering the NAAC Cisco Championship with cars 12 and 76. Though Mason Yokoyama was planning on sharing the 76 car with numerous drivers there was no word on who'll be driving the 12 car at the moment. He will be using Cooper tires and Saar engines in both cars. He was planning on driving the 76 car on the superspeedways and road courses only.

Re: 2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
M2 Development rebrands as Matthews Atlantic Motorsports, joins NAAC:
In a bombshell announcement, M2 Development, which carried Flannery Moore to the cusp of the 2016 PART title, declared it would leave PART and join the North American Auto Club for 2017.
Team boss Ryan Matthews made the announcement in a series of Tweets, in which he detailed a meeting with PART officials over their partnership with Hanmore. According to Matthews, one of the higher-ups told him to "get over" his objections to the alliance, adding that "it's been five years," in reference to the 2012 Hanmore World Championships in which five drivers, including Matthews' late wife Tiffany, lost their lives.
"That did it for me," he said in a phone interview. "The fact that one of PART's execs had the gall to tell me that was all I needed to hear. I couldn't get to Paul Martin's office fast enough."
The team will be rebranded as Matthews Atlantic Motorsports, to coincide with the parent organization that currently competes in Dash Cup. They have announced that Taylor Matthews and Moore will be retained for 2017, and that negotiations are ongoing with Andrea-Lynn Caldwell despite her losing Octan Energy sponsorship at the end of 2016. Sponsors Escargo Express and Saturn Springs are signed for the 06 car, but there is no guarantee Caldwell will return to that ride. Swedish rookie Kerri Sjoberg will return to Europe, presumably to pursue a Dash Cup ride, either with Matthews Atlantic or elsewhere.

Gailey Enterprises announces entry into NAAC
In an attempt to capitalize on the split of PART and NAAC, car owner Roger Gailey has announced his decision to field cars in both divisions of NAAC under the Saar label. In the Zippo National Series, 21-year-old street stock racer Lonny Rawlins has been signed on to drive the #8 with sponsorship from Crest. In the Championship Series, 25-year-old speedway ace Troy Griffith will drive the #39 with sponsorship from DHL. Gailey confirmed that BF Goodrich would provide tires for the team. When asked if Rawlins would make a Championship Series start in 2017, Gailey was vague but said he did not discount the possibility that there could be a second part-time team added to the roster.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm bored, so what the hell, let's do this. Gailey, Rawlins and Griffith are all American.

Ike Durbin, Inc. Planning NAAC Entries
With the formation of the new North American Auto Club and partnership with Omecha, many teams from both PART and other national racing leagues have announced their intent to expand or defect to the NAAC. One of those teams, apparently, will be Ike Durbin, Inc., a team that primarily has competed in FARC and the NRC.
In a small press conference held in the team's shop, competition director Joel Lepland was asked about their decision, stating, "With the partnership between Omecha and the NAAC, and their intent to use re-purposed and updated Omecha M-14 bodies in the Championship Series along with older style TM Master Cup bodies in the National Seires, we felt it would be a great opportunity for the team to expand into the NAAC for 2017. Ike Durbin, Inc. plans to field at least one car for the entire season in each division, and we feel that this will help the team continue to grow. Our goal is to update both our old M-14 chassis and our old Master Cup bodies to NAAC specs and compete with those."
In 2012 and 2013, the National Racing Championship used pre-2012 TM Master Cup Series bodies before signing a deal with Omecha to run their M-14 spec chassis, which ran through the conclusion of the 2016 season. Having these cars around the shop may explain the team's motivation to expand into the NAAC.
It was later announced that the team plans to run one full-time car, numbered 86, in the Championship Series, while also fielding one full-time car in the National Series, numbered 93. Drivers and sponsors have not yet been announced.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OOC: I'm not sure what I'm going to do with drivers yet. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me. I plan on having a rotation of drivers in the National Series car, though.)

Yokoyama still looking for driver of 12 car
Mason Yokoyama managed to secure sponsorship from his longtime sponsor Bush's Chicken from his car and MHL sponsorship for the 12 car but is still trying to find a driver for car number 12. Yokoyama also was planning on running both Texas races and is not running the international road courses and Watkins Glen. He is also trying to find drivers to share his 76 car.
(OOC: PM me if anyone wants a ride. As for the 76, tell me what races you want to run.)

Re: 2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
Formula B team rumored for interest in NAAC: Both series?
JAF Motorsport, an American start-up that fields cars at the Formula B and C level, has recently announced their plans to apply for two teams in the North American Auto Club's Zippo National Series, and rumors abound that they plan a move to the Championship Series in 2018. Team owner John Fischer, a former open-wheel driver himself, made the announcement Monday in front of fans and media at the team's home base in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Expected to be in the cars will be Matt Mazzatelli, an Italian-American 22 year old from Carlisle, Massachusetts, and 29 year old Reynaldo Dominguez, the team's lead driver, originally of Mar De Plata, Argentina. Dominguez seems likely to run with the ever-popular Cerveza Quilmes, and it is certain that Mazzatelli will bring Boston-based DraftKings.com onboard. Mazzatelli will pilot the #79, and Dominguez will run the #97. The team subsequently released a statement announcing their partnership with Bolden Motors (a product of Inglesby) and excitement for the upcoming season.
(OOC: Gambling sponsors are o.k, right? DraftKings is sorta gambling but sorta not, so just want to make certain.)

Rykia_RKXK wrote:Ike Durbin, Inc. Planning NAAC Entries
With the formation of the new North American Auto Club and partnership with Omecha, many teams from both PART and other national racing leagues have announced their intent to expand or defect to the NAAC. One of those teams, apparently, will be Ike Durbin, Inc., a team that primarily has competed in FARC and the NRC.
In a small press conference held in the team's shop, competition director Joel Lepland was asked about their decision, stating, "With the partnership between Omecha and the NAAC, and their intent to use re-purposed and updated Omecha M-14 bodies in the Championship Series along with older style TM Master Cup bodies in the National Seires, we felt it would be a great opportunity for the team to expand into the NAAC for 2017. Ike Durbin, Inc. plans to field at least one car for the entire season in each division, and we feel that this will help the team continue to grow. Our goal is to update both our old M-14 chassis and our old Master Cup bodies to NAAC specs and compete with those."
In 2012 and 2013, the National Racing Championship used pre-2012 TM Master Cup Series bodies before signing a deal with Omecha to run their M-14 spec chassis, which ran through the conclusion of the 2016 season. Having these cars around the shop may explain the team's motivation to expand into the NAAC.
It was later announced that the team plans to run one full-time car, numbered 86, in the Championship Series, while also fielding one full-time car in the National Series, numbered 93. Drivers and sponsors have not yet been announced.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OOC: I'm not sure what I'm going to do with drivers yet. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me. I plan on having a rotation of drivers in the National Series car, though.)
(OOC: Got the ok from Ike, so I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag, lol.)
Familiar Face returns to IDI for NAAC Championship Series entry
IDI has found a driver for their #86 Champion Series NAAC ride. And it's a familiar face. In fact, IDI's maiden FARC Elite Series win came with this driver, Ryan Griffin.
Griffin, who has run in the TM Lights and run for the IT in the TMMCS, ran the FARC Elite Series for IDI from 2013-2015 scoring the team's maiden series win at the Karl's Superstore event at Riverside in 2014.
However, Griffin does have a controversial history. He had his TM Lights license revoked after causing an accident at the New York Autoring in 2012, and his Dash Cup license revoked for causing an accident in that series at the same track in 2013 (though Dash Cup did end up resending that suspension about a year ago).
But nevertheless, Griffin and IDI will partner up again for a run in NAAC in 2017. Which Griffin will show up here? Only time will tell.

Great Plains Motorsport to enter NAAC
After moderate success in small midwestern racing leagues, Great Plains Motorsport is ready for its next step. "At first, a virtually unknown team such as ours might not look ready to compete at a national level, but I trust our boys to give the public some real surprises", said team owner William Gray in a press conference at the team headquarters. The Topeka- based team plans to run one driver on the Championship Series and two at the National Series; 27-year old Brazilian Jorge Brabo will run number #28 at the former, while local talents Dennis Akers and Bryan Waldrop will participate at the secondary series, running numbers #74 and #10 respectively.
Great Plains Motorsport will use Saar engines and BFGoodrich tires, but has not announced any sponsors. "At the moment, we're in negotiations with several potential sponsors to our team in this series, so we can't make any announcements", said Gray.
(OOC: I'd like to at least try to draw some fictional sponsors for the cars, but I'll edit this post or make a new post when i finish/give up on trying and use an existing one )

2017: A Rebuilding Year
"After the split with PART, A.J.A. Racing and JINX Racing Development decided to switch over to the newly formed NAAC. Nothing really against PART. PART is making necessary changes for the series that the officiating body feels is necessary for improvement. They need to do what they feel is necessary for the series. Unfortunately, we do not agree with the changes and choose to 'defect' over to the NAAC. I will still be watching PART races and may even drive in a couple of races for teams should they ask me. I do feel however that at this point in time, NAAC better fits the AJA and JRD structure. I do have friends who wanted to try or stay in PART so I've extended my sponsorship and assistance to them. Hopefully they have a great 2017 season. On our end, we have a big year ahead of us and hope to perform to standard. We are still looking for 2 drivers for the #75 and #85 for the Cisco Championship Series. Oh yeah, and I want to give a shout out to Ryan Griffin over at IDI. I still remember our showdown in 2014. Hopefully you can pop down to the National Series at some point and race me again." -Jinx Rodriguez

Since there's a large amount of cars that I haven't received either ratings or flats, I decided to extend the due date by a couple of weeks. So the due date is September 10th. If I still don't get stuff by then, I'll start the season and whatever happens, happens.

Kind of hard to send driver ratings when said driver isn't listed in drivers rating split, yet listed in accepted entries, lol.

Has a FARC win, therefore he's Class B. There is actually little to no need to disclose driver classes, as you only need to add 3, 6, 9, 12 to the ratings categories.

Re: 2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
So, since it's October and I'm already in canon year 2017, what honestly confuses me, I will put the series on a "hiatus", basically I will not do any more videos for either NAAC or PART until the actual 2017 year starts, mostly because I want to get back on stuff I've never started or stopped halfway through, like the Gibson's Dirt Series which I've ran races for but never actually started to makle any videos and the IPRC non-canon clusterfuck that I want to finish. So yeah, NAAC and PART will enter a quick hiatus to make sure I don't get too much ahead of everyone canon-wise.

Matthews Atlantic brass: Pellerin should not be credited with Albuquerque win
After the smoke cleared and dust settled from a controversial Albuquerque 150, Matthews Atlantic Motorsports' director of North American Competition David Fitzgerald made his opinion clear on Rebecca Pellerin's victory.
"She doesn't deserve it," Fitzgerald said. "Pure and simple. How a driver on probation does all that Pellerin did and escape with only a 40-point penalty is bizarre. We understand that Desert Star Motorsports is lodging a protest of the result. We, too will be protesting the result."
It should be noted that MAM driver Andrea-Lynn Caldwell finished second in the event, a fact not lost on Fitzgerald.
"Of course Andrea-Lynn stands to benefit from a successful protest," he said. "We'd be foolish to say otherwise. But it's not about getting Andrea-Lynn elevated; this is about sending a message that Pellerin's antics on-track can't be tolerated."

- North American Auto Club's official statement following Albuquerque
"Following the conclusion of the Albuquerque 150 at At The Speedbowl, NAAC officials brought Rebecca Pellerin into the stewards office where the 40 point penalty was delivered, this is her second strike under the three incident rule, in which the first strike is a temporary probation for 3 or more events, if a driver causes a incident under probation, this will be his second strike, followed by a 20 point penalty, if more than a incident occurs during the course of the race, the incidents merge into a single strike, but the points penalty gets increased accordingly, therefore, Rebecca Pellerin has gotten her second strike.
If the driver of the #27 Ernest Lewis Racing Saar causes a major incident in the next 6 races, she'll be suspended for 5 to 8 events."

Re: 2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
- Oh boy.:
- Pellerin takes controversial win at Albuquerque.
In what was a wacky race at the track, the garage was livid with some of Pellerin's actions.
On lap 79, Pellerin had contact with the 32 car, and sent him spinning in front of the field.
On the radio, Pellerin was livid, saying "That 32 has been ignoring blue flags, and the officials won't do shit." She seemed unapologetic, as asked after the race, she said "I feel bad for the others, but how many damn times, has someone been wrecked like that, involving us. 32 wouldn't follow the rules, so i had to move him, it could've way better, and for that I apologize.
On the second incident with the 84, wrecking the car across the line into the path of the 06, she had this to say. "100% on me, I was impatient with the lack of blue flags, and my temper got the best of me. Ernest told me if the 84/02 want to send their repair bill, he'd gladly pay that, and i'll chime in two, cause i wrecked two good race cars."
Asked about the second strike. She said "California should've not been one, held my line, broken car came down and destroyed us, and the only reason I can see that is because they brought some of the idiots in the tower from PART. So if I do get a 3rd, I'll be fighting that one for a while. It's like that whole Watkins Glen thing all over again."
"Running PART for the last 3 years made me think, that I'm the bad girl, people who just didn't want me to win. Is it because I win too much, or I drive aggressive, i don't know. But I'm in my prime, and I'm here to race and win.
Ernest Lewis did not speak to the media, but only left this soundbite for the media. "Don't involve me in any of this s***"

I cannot believe my uncle Jinx had such a monster of a start to 2017. This team is great and we don't intend to slow down anytime soon."
Jinx Rodriguez- "I know this team looked to be strong this season and I looked to be a championship threat, but I never expected that the season would start off 3 for 3 and with two of us leading the points. 2017 is looking to be a banner year for JRD."
Steven Arroyo- "Holy crap. Our JRD program is unbelievably strong and it clearly shows in this division. First 3 races and 3 straight wins for my brother and owner Jinx Rodriguez. I can't wait to see what happens throughout this season."
Steven Arroyo- "I cannot believe the tease of a year we're having yet again. Bianca is crushing it and already has 2 wins. All of us are running pretty well in the points. I'm hoping that I'll catch a break soon. We're only 6 races into the season and hope to improve to be a serious championship threat."
Lucas Calhoun- (TBA)
Bianca Dawson- (TBA)
Trey Ashby- (TBA)
JINX Racing Development 2017
Tina Ashby- (TBA)
Adam Ramirez- "2017 is off to an amazing start a top 3 sweep in the season opener and good finishes in 2 of the other 3 races has me in a good top 10 points position early this year with hope to improve. I cannot believe my uncle Jinx had such a monster of a start to 2017. This team is great and we don't intend to slow down anytime soon."

Yokoyama announces 76 car to attempt in Danville
Mason Yokoyama, the owner of Jesse Simon's 12 car announced that the second Mason Yokoyama Racing car number 76 will attempt the Virginia 150k in Danville. Because of his AneriCar commitments, Yokoyama was unsure if he'll drive it, he said that he'll find a driver for the 76 if he can't drive in Danville.

Re: 2017 North American Auto Club (SILLY SEASON!)
Results
Standings
- VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT, READ IT:
- Since I'm a lazy asshole, later today I'll post the results of the last two PART races, including the champion. Either way, i need that the PART team owners give me a heads up on if their teams are joining NAAC immediately or not, as teams will be allowed to join NAAC when for the 2018 season anyway (you do not need to resend your ratings, I still have them, and given it's the same system for both series, it will not make a difference; however REMEMBER THAT THIS SERIES HAS A TIRE WAR, INFORM ME IF YOU ARE USING BRIDGESTONE, COOPER, HOOSIER OR BF GOODRICH TIRES.
NAAC ALSO LIMITS ITS MANUFACTURERS TO SAAR, CALTON-MOREL, INGLESBY, LENARD AND NEMOTO)
Also, due to the obvious amount of number conflicts, I'll fix them as teams get confirmed (I'll also put an asterisk right next to any PART entry in the list below that has a number conflict in NAAC. Since triple-digit numbers are legal in NAAC, you can use it at will, but for the love of everything that is sacred to you DO NOT START THEM WITH 0, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I USE THOSE TO SETTLE LETTERS, SO PLEASE, HAVE SOME DISCRETION AND READ THIS. I WILL NOT SAY THIS AGAIN
CONFIRM YOUR POSSIBLE CHANGES UNTIL I POST RACE #12 (WATKINS GLEN), I THINK THREE-FOUR WEEKS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SET THIS UP
List of PART teams at the conclusion of the 2017 season
Blue = Going to NAAC Championship Series Immediately
Orange = Going to NAAC Zippo National Series Immediately
Green = Joining NAAC in 2018
Black = Destination Unknown
Red = Folding

NAAC President Paul Martin's Press Conference Transcript
Paul Martin walks in, together with Cisco executive of marketing Richard Conway, both sit down and test the microphone
Paul Martin (PM) "Okay, can we be heard around this room? Yes, okay, thanks for cooperation....so we'll cut cut down the small talk and go forth with what we called you down to it, and to help me with it, Richard Conway, director of marketing for Cisco"
Richard Conway (RC) "Exactly, thank you Paul, so, Cisco and NAAC have started a healthy partnership ths year, and we are here to announce the extention of the contract for a additional year, aside from that, there's not much we, here at Cisco will talk about, so I'll hand it back to Paul, for somethign that us both and possibly everyone in this room will deemmore important than to announce a extentionthat was already pretty much dead set...Paul..."
PM "Alright, so, we had a meeting before qualifying with both Teams and Drivers, to sort out what we can do as PART teams join the North American Auto Club. We explored diverse possibilities, but the one that everyone here was able to agree upon, will be the following........we will reinstate the duel race system, used in PART prior to the split. We are doing this to help the smaller teams to compete, while allowing a bigger amount of competitive top tier teams to participate as well. Any questions that you'd like to have sorted?"
Isaac Milburn (RaceCast.Com) "How will this affect the championship, given that this decision was taken halfway through the year?"
PM "We consulted the teams and drivers and they were willing to bring this format back, as they also believe from what we have been talking during that meeting, that since not only most championship contenders and higher tier teams can benefit from this, smaller teams can try to join the championship fight as well. We don't know how teams that haven't qualified as much will do, as an example, David Hetzel's team, they haven't qualified for most of the events, but whenever they had, they have been extremely quick, getting their two cars respectably inside of the top 20. I can also point out the Albuquerque race early in the season, when multiple heavy-hitters failed to qualify for the event. We are trying to bring a better show to the fans and put the animosities to rest. This system, where no one gets left to dry after qualifying can and we are it will produce the best possible outcome for the championship, which is a multicar fight for the title at Talladega."
Eric Burns (North Sports Network) "Hello Paul, Eirc Burns right here from North Sports Headquarters and I have a simple question for you that can be a headscratcher..."
PM "Sure Eric, what will be such question?"
Eric Burns "I think the announcement of the new system is a shock to many people, but I think as we go, we'll get used to it, given it was a system PART and NAAC fans followed and enjoyed since 2012, when it was first introduced with the same field Battle and Reverse Races, but I digress, since the question is, with no one failing to qualify for races, what will be the purse system, and how will teams get rewarded for their finishing positions.
PM "This is also the reason Conway is here, as Cisco was part of this agreement, and they are willing to increase the amount of money invested in NAAC as they have faith in what we can do after this split that just hurt both us and PART, but this is a time to fix the mistakes done in the past and hopefully look forward to what we can do starting at New Hampshire. Is there any other questions by any other parties........no, okay, that was surprisingly short (Martin laughs) but yeah, I hope I have cleared the reasonsing of this conference and what we will go through in the future. Thank you and may all of you have a pleasant day"
