Reread the press release, Jerry. CJ himself is eligible to return on Nov. 21, while the Leary Racing sprint car entry isn't eligible to return until the 7th race of the '21 season.
It's a bit silly really. Leary Racing could simply rename their team, renumber their car, and legally enter Winter Dirt Games in February.
Suspensions at this level of racing are a lose-lose situation. There are no plusses. Bad for the sanction, bad for the promoter, and bad for the paying fans. It was that way for Robert Ballou and this seems like a similar circumstance. In my opinion, the best course of action would be either a larger financial penalty, grid penalties at future events, or a combination of both. USAC should really consider a new course of action over the winter. Like I said, other than CJ sitting out the midget events for the next month, there really is no sporting penalty.
