- Mummert apologetic for incident with Tyrone Stanley
"I shouldn't have tried to force a battle with Tyrone while Michael [Sykes] was leaving the pits," Mummert said. "I'm sorry about that. I should've had more patience. It doesn't matter where we finish. We didn't score points.
"I just want to go to Grand Detour, avoid the mess, and get a good finish there."

- Duff Infuriated with Young's Actions; Ride in Jeopardy:
Elkhart Lake looked to be a promising weekend for the Volpi squad. VRT's performance at Road America in the last races at this track has been nothing short of exceptional, and they were looking determined to match those results this weekend at Round 12 of the 2011 season. Duff's teammate Packer Carroll ran just in front of him for the majority of the race, and they were both making ground through traffic on their way to the front. However, midway through the event, the unfortunate luck of the #2 team struck again as Duff was swept off the track by Tutino's latest pay driver addition, A.J. Young. The Lego Volpi team was reportedly furious with Young's reckless maneuver and Volpi Racing Team was also reportedly stressing penalties on Tutino. However, the real fun started after the race concluded.
"I was looking for him [Young] after the race," Duff stated to the press. "He wouldn't even be courteous enough to talk about the incident after he took us out of the race. I took it up with his pit crew and told them to let their driver know that he's a fool and that if he cuts in front of me again in the future I won't be the one spinning off course. We can't seem to catch a break this season. We were doing fine for a while but our season as of late has been very, very rough. Volpi's already informed me the only way I can guarantee my ride for next season is finishing in the top 10 in points. I'd love to have a shot at proving my talent but it's difficult sometimes with the great strength of the Master Cup field and also the stupidity of some others. We haven't had any sort of luck on the road courses this season and that's not good for our points position hopes because that's our strong point and there's not many road course rounds remaining. One thing's for sure, I'm going to be pushing these cars to the limit for the rest of the season."
Shortly before the Round of Wisconsin at Road America, Volpi Racing Team announced that Duff could guarantee a spot on the team for 2012 if he finished in the top 10 in points this season. The poor luck and inconsistency of the #2 team has put his ride in jeopardy and he'll have to run 200% if he wants to save it. During the Round of Ohio, commentator Dan Mullen hinted that Xenos could possibly be interested in Duff for 2012 because of their history of strictly Canadian drivers. Duff's indirect connection with Juneau through his position at Dyelated Painting Industries have led rumors to believe that he could possibly find a ride in a lower tier series or remain at the TM Master Cup level if KJS Autosport was granted a full-time spot on the 2012 grid.

Whitmore Celebrates Road America Victory
Mike Whitmore celebrated his first win for Team Saar USA in dramatic fashion. Whitmore, 29, came back from his one race suspension to take his first win of the year, something he admitted was helpful in hindsight.
"I learned a few lessons, took some advice from what Tony [Durbin] had said, and I think it helped me be a better driver on and off the track." Whitmore said.
"Things like that can be helpful sometimes when you need a few reminders of where you are and such."
Whitmore's result is under review after a pitlane collision with Leonid Roderick and could see him lose the win.
"Roderick pulled right into my lane, so I don't know why I should be penalized for someone else's mistake." Whitmore said.
"I think even the tape shows he pulled up, I never saw him until the last second."
Devereux Fuming After Wisconsin Race
Typically, after a TM Master Cup Series, podium celebrations occur in Victory Lane with very little controversy. That was not the case after the Round of Wisconsin, where a furious Adrien Devereux made his feelings known to Chris Johaanes. The two made contact on lap 27 in turn 5, sending Johaanes into the sand pit and Devereux to an uncontested 25 second lead over Mike Whitmore. However, Devereux remained irate after the race and continued his argument with Johaanes on the podium.
"He knows what he did... he pulled in front of me when I was already committed to the line and on the brakes. That's just stupid, careless driving." Devereux said.
"He left me no room to avoid him, and the officials think that is my fault, which is ridiculous! We won this race, and if there is any justice the officials will do the right thing and change the results."
The officials are still reviewing the race, as Hodges-Walter Racing has protested both ATPs assessed to its drivers during the race, and race winner Mike Whitmore could receive a time penalty for his collision with Leonid Roderick in the pitlane.

- Deja Vu? Delgado Hopes Top 10 Today Starts 2nd Half Rally
Putting in a workman performance today at Road America was the mission for Tom Delgado in the #837 TirADE Nemoto, and he did exactly that, moving patiently up the grid and taking advantage of time penalties & attrition to finish a respectable 8th place. If you think Delgado's out of the running for the championship, you have to consider that last season he jumped from the mid-20's in the standings to 9th by Decatur on the wings of 8 straight top 10 finishes (7 of them were top 5's). Delgado even admitted before the race that he needed to have a top 10 here to keep his championship ambitions alive, and he did exactly that.
"Next?" Delgado sarcastically said after hopping out of his car. "The 2nd half has always been kind to the Nemoto gang. We were the best 2nd half team last season, and there's no reason why we can't do it a second straight year. I said we were out of the championship a few rounds ago, well now we're back in it. We need to start finishing ahead of the other championship contenders though, but it's doable" Delgado added.
Tom Delgado remains 9th in the championship standings, 93 points behind de-facto championship leader Adrien Devereaux.

At this rate, Rainsford will still win the championship despite missing half the season.

That as if Adrian's appeal with the time penalty doesn't stand. If it does, she won't, even if Packer gives it good runs.

- Johaanes insists he did nothing wrong
Chris Johaanes rallied back to a second-place finish after being involved in an incident with Adrian Devereux. Devereux was handed a 30-second time penalty, effectively stripping him of the race win, that Hodges-Walter Racing immediately protested.
HWR claimed that Johaanes swept across Devereux's nose entering turn 5 and spun all by himself, but Johannes told reporters, "Adrian just kept going straight. I'm trying to arc into the corner like you're supposed to, but he didn't do the same."
In addition to Johaanes's comeback late int he race, there is talk of race winner Mike Whitmore being handed a post-race time penalty that could hand the victory to Johaanes.

Re: Race 12: Round of Wisconsin
"we threw the win away today, PERIOD. this is getting disgusting. we ran great all day was right with Wittmore after the pit stops. The crew had great stops all day. but they are blowing this each and every week back at the shop. Taube broke something, we had something break. I think they are too focused on getting to ASCC next year and dropped the ball on us this year. All day im just going threw the gears thinking YES we did it, the season is turning around with this run. and of course again breakage. Im about ready to say **ck this team, and **uc this car and either take my helmet and skills to a new team or start my own!"

- Hamburg unapologetic after AJ Young spin.
"Yeah, I dumped Young, so what? Guy drove like a tool all race. I was doing the field a favor. The officials must get off to giving out time penalties because they had a field day with those today." was all Morgan Hamburg said to reporters before going to his hauler. He received a 30 second time penalty because of it, which relegated him from 6th to 14th.

- Fortner: No fault on Johannes, blames false officialdom
Matt Taylor and Taylor Silverman observed from the infield the incident between Adrian Devereux and Chris Johannes during the late stages of the race. Adrian Devereux was given a 30-second Active Time Penalty which gave Mike Whitmore the de facto win. But Hodges-Walter Racing instinctively protested the call, and still is protesting the call. Billy Fortner also was observing and offers his opinions:
"Chris did absolutely nothing wrong. Neither did Adrian. Both were just racing hard and clean up until that bend. It looked like from my vantage point that Adrian didn't even hit Chris. It almost appeared as if Chris hesitated to defend his position leaving Adrian to pounce. The officials are wrong. Devereux did not deserve this Active Time Penalty. Also, Alan Hodges is way off on his theory that Chris cut Adrian off. What happened in my vantage point was the fact that Chris did have somewhat of an advantage over Devereux, but because the inside had more grip, Adrian nailed it on the inside groove and took the lead away. There is absolutely no reason for this to be happening at all. Wake up you dumba$$ TMMC officials! This was a racing deal and neither party is at fault. We'll see what the ruling is when it comes out."

My Gosh, most ridiculous race I ever saw! I hadn't seen this many atp's ever. All I can say is.... I HOPE THIS IS LIKE INDY. I like the drama

Everett Confronts Hodges in Pit Lane
Reports of a confrontation between Ethan Everett and Alan Hodges in the pits after the Round of Wisconsin were verified by both parties. Hodges said that he had been invited to the Steward's Office after the race and told to avoid Everett for "a few" races.
"They told me to stay away from that Everett kid." Hodges said.
"I have no idea if they told him to do the same, he came over whinging at me and pointing. If he wants to fight that's fine, I'm in much better shape than he is."
Everett's version of the events was different.
"I came to tell Alan [Hodges] that I didn't like how he raced us on track. It's kind of what he does every race this year. He's wrecked Arto [Kekkonen] a few times and gotten away with it. I'm glad the series officials are now overlooking his superstar status and giving fair penalties." Everett said.
"I don't know what his problem is, any time you approach him and say its his fault he wants to fight or something. He's out of control and it's not cool."

The drive for 5 is dead if the TMMC(and the drivers cough... Mike Whitmore cough... keeps screwing him over like this. Its probably his fault but i'm upset about that.
Woah, hold on there. I think you're taking this a bit too seriously. Remember, these races are computer controlled, there's no reason for that language, and no need to go making up conspiracy theories.

Leonid getting 15 points off. Not really a big fan, but if Hodges wrecks a superstar again, he needs some more punishment then ATPs.

Cameron Taylor isn't Deletraz. AJ Young defintatly is. I'm a Hiro Matsushita, not a Deletraz. Actually, Young is more like a Milka Duno.
Re: Race 12: Round of Wisconsin
Duno = Deletraz
