2019 ASCC Silly Season Thread

[Ceej]

With permission and guidance from Cynon, the ASCC All-American Racing Series Presented by Kenslo will return in 2019.

2019 ASCC TMPedia Page

Confirmed Details

-The series will be split into 3 divisions: Saar, Lenard, and Inglesby. These divisions will not be perfectly balanced in terms of field strength.
-Each division will feature 11 full-time teams that race each other at the same time; 33 cars per race, and 3 championships in one.
-The overall championship will be determined with a NASCAR-like playoff format.
-The series is deeply rooted in Southern American culture. As such, most, if not all, of the drivers will be white American men aged 18+, and there will be a strong focus on patriotism and military appreciation. Drivers who are military and law enforcement veterans will carry a special decal.
-While ASCC will be higher in the pecking order than FARC and other smaller series, most drivers who race here won't be taken seriously by TM Master Cup/Lights teams. Master Cup and Lights drivers who don't find success may also drop down here for the remainder of their careers.
-Most teams in the series won't field cars anywhere else.

Got news? Rumors? Slander?

Oh boy, Microtransaction Motorsports is back.

Many sources have been chirping about the new teams in the ASCC and it seems like the worst case scenario has happened. Multiple sources have claimed that Microtransaction Studios, a fairly infamous mobile game developer that has been under multiple FTC investigations since 2017 for deceptive and underhanded business practices including advertising gambling to children among others, have bought multiple ASCC spec Saars, apparently in order to start an ASCC race team. This has not been the first time Microtransaction Studios have started a race team. The company had one from 2015 to 2016 in what is now the NAAC, but that team was disbanded in mid-2016 after a very public firing of driver Ryan Walker over a now deleted tweet which resulted in a full ban from the series. Not much else is known about this development, but if this goes through, the existence of this team might be a chilling indictment on the ASCC and Tyler-Madigan's apparent ignorance of the series.

Embattled Tennessee late model star to feature in ASCC?
Colton Spencer, the 20-year old racer who has made a name for himself in the late model circles of the American Southeast is being rumored to join an ASCC team for the upcoming 2019 season.

However, in the past year, Spencer has also made headlines for the wrong reasons. Just 10 months ago, he was arrested for and charged with public intoxication at a musical festival in Georgia; however, charges were not upheld in court after a judge ruled Spencer could drink because “his parents gave him approval to do so.” Just days later, Spencer was again arrested, again in Georgia, for DUI (driving under the influence). He refused a breathalyzer test and was subsequently arrested. His car was discovered to be “littered with beer cans” according to the arresting officer. Since an actual breathalyzer reading was never recorded, Spencer was charged with the lesser penalty for a first time offender between the ages of 16 and 20 (he was 19 at the time) - with a blood alcohol content percentage of greater than 0.02 but less than 0.08 (his actual BAC% is not known) - having his license suspended for 6 months, fined, and was ordered to complete an alcohol/drug risk reduction program.

Colton Spencer returned home to Tennessee after his tumultuous time in Georgia and has since deleted his social media accounts. Unfortunately Spencer was again caught up in rather shady circumstances as he was accused of sexual harassment by an 18-year old female on the night of his 20th birthday in mid-November. A courtroom hearing was held but a settlement was reached between the parties. All 3 times Spencer has been to court he has been representated by the law firm of which his father, Andy, is a partner, Spence, Spencer, Spice & Spicer.

In a recent interview with a local reporter following one-off appearance for Jim Brennan Motorsports in a late model race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Spencer said he was looking to clear his name - which he claimed the media has “gladly dragged through the mud.” Spencer then took a drag from his JUUL vaporizer and blew the vapor at the camera.

Since then, coincindentally or not - probably not - JUUL has been linked with Spencer coming to the ASCC. Jim Brennan Motorsports could be Spencer’s way into the series. Brennan’s team has been out of the ASCC for the last several seasons after Brennan fell asleep smoking a cigarette at the team’s shop and accidentally burned the building to the ground. Luckily, Brennan (who was alone at the shop that night) escaped unharmed, and vowed he will never smoke a cigarrette again. Unfortunately due to poor insurance coverage, Brennan has spent the last 5 and a half years regrouping financially. Various appearances in late model races in the Southeastern US in 2017 and 2018 could be a sign that JBM is ready to make a comeback in the ASCC.

Possibly if rumors are to be believed. The last time this team was seen it had Porter House and Angus Black behind the wheels of the #16 Optimum Beef and the #24 Carver City Steakhouse cars. If that still remains the case is anyone's guess.

Former ASCC Aaron Law Hopes to Make Return

Kentuckian Aaron Law hopes to make his return to the ASCC after an uninspiring campaign a few years ago. Law brings sponsorship from Murray State University, his alma matter.

Lou Singer Racing Moving to ASCC?
After an eventful 2018 season in the FARC Lowe Dollar Series, casino magnate Lou Singer has reportedly expressed interest in shifting his Lou Singer Racing team to the American Stock Car Championship.

ABQ Speedbowl winner Mike "Knuckles" Malone joined the team to compete for the championship following the DUI arrest of Aaron Singer, but he is expected to remain committed to FARC in 2019. As such, Singer's younger son, Lou Singer Jr., would likely expand to a full-time schedule as the team's primary driver. There has been little word on Aaron's status following his arrest and suspension by his father, but if he is able to and interested in racing again, him driving a second car may not be out of the question.

Reports indicated the team is expected to continue fielding Inglesbys with sponsorship from Lou Singer Hotels & Casinos, along with advertising two new ventures; Singer SportBet and the Aaron Singer Sobriety Foundation. When questioned about ASCC rumors, Lou Singer declined comment. "Right now we're continuing to focus on bringing home a FARC championship with Knuckles Malone. We haven't thought much about 2019 and we'll worry about it when the time comes."

CONFIRMED: Microtransaction Studios to join ASCC

After apparently every single ASCC team refusing to be sponsored by the company, Microtransaction Studios, a mobile game company known for many legal battles over shady practices over plagiarism, emotional manipulation of children, and promoting gambling specifically at gambling addicts, has finally entered the Inglesby Division for the 2019 ASCC season. The car, under the team name of Microtransaction Motorsports, will of course be sponsored by Microtransaction Studios, will be numbered 07 and driven by Texan short track driver Austin Sanders, who has been a successful driver in that part, but unfortunately has been under the thumb of Microtransaction Studios since funding dried up in mid 2017. Despite the constant lawsuits, the company makes $5.2 million a day from their 23 free to play games all released in late 2015 and all obviously plagiarized from commonly beloved video games from the 80's and 90's.

Red 6 Racing has plans to attempt all four available one off events available with Jek Tono piloting the #6 Porkins Beans car. However, that may just be wishful thinking for the scrappy, rebellious team. The manufacturer has yet to be determined as of this writing, but it should be an explosive debut for Tono and the team.
