Truckers 10T ?
 

I noticed Scotty Weir is in the 10T.
Is Thomas Meseraull not in the truckers car anymore??

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I am pretty shure that thomas still drives for truckers at least he did last weekend they have that secound car that clayton was in and there has been a few drivers get in that seet since clayton quit driving for them

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I am wondering the same as I only see 1 truckers car running tonight.

Interesting....

And it died on front strait

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I was wondering too. They had Hagen in the 10 and Weir in the 10T last night at Gas City

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Hagen is running the Hut 100.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

heard he was fired..

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

That is crazy! I thought T-Mez was a good driver.......

If its true I hope he lands on his feet somewhere!

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Maybe they don't appreciate the skill of being able to drive half way around the wall like the rest of us...

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Hagen and Weir are the truckers drivers. Messeraul was in fact let go. Heard it from the horses mouth one night.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Does Al Davis own this team or what? It is a shame......

Maybe if they kept a driver for any amount of time they could build some chemistry. I do not know all the details but T-Mez seemed to take care of the ride and be very consistent on his finishes. I never seen him win in the car but I have seen him run at the top many times.

Hope you land a ride T-Mez......

What a joke... :action-smiley-049:

Thomas Meseraull is still one of my top 3 favorite MIDGET drivers :thumb

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

As much time and money as they spend they want to WIN. And i dont blame them for trying to find a driver that will do that for them. There is a fine line between tearing cars up and being on cruise control and just finishing. Roger and Jim will find a driver that will do that and win again. Good Luck Truckers. And a Thank You for being one of the few car owners left.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

if they want a winner why dont they contact you? cant argue with success can you? maybe you should call roger and throw your name in the hat........

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Thats funny that you say he was let go, I was talking with Jim Whiteside after the Haubstadt run about how much T-mez has improved and he agreed but didn't act like anything was wrong.

Anybody got any other details on what happened between them?

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Not sure what happened, but it's too bad. He was really starting to run up front on a consistent basis, and wasn't tearing stuff up either. And after listening to him on DO's radio show a couple weeks back, you could really tell that the guy is a racer, first and foremost. Hopefully he lands on his feet in '09.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Sounds to me like someones politicing for a ride! Just give em a call :D

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Billy is partying now but when the party is over he will tell you that he has a ride lined up for next year. I do not think he was kissing up or politicing he was telling it like it is. Just for the record we are not looking for a ride ether, just agreeing with what Billy had to say. Nothing against T.Mes. as he is a good guy. The way I see it, it is Roger and Barb's money and they can do what they feel is best. :respect:

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

NO i am not asking for a ride. I have done a great job by myself the last two years dont you think? 16 wins and 4 Championships The Phililps have given me a great racecar and i am working with them next year. They are great people and they love to race. So me trying to kiss a@# for another ride is just stupid. So to quote the great Stone Cold Steve Austin " Thats the Bottom Line" cause Billy Puterbaugh said so.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Josh Spencer deserves a big break, met them at Terre Haute and they are nothing but nice people.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Billy, you plan on running both Gas City and Putnamville with new team like the last couple of years or picking and choosing where ya go??

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Direct quote from Roger Tapy owner, R&B Racing LLC, and Truckers's 24 HR Road Service


Thomas was discharged from the Trucker's Team on 10-08-08.

Roger states, " It was for inappropriate behavior" from a driver that reflects the integrity of Trucker's 24 HR and his sponsors".

Roger also states, " he has been very proud of T-Mez, he has been getting better and better each week and was waiting for his first win with the team."

Thomas has admitted that he made a very poor personal decision that reflects back to the moral issues implemented by Roger and Barb Tapy as owners. His actions could have easily harmed the Team's name as well as sponsors involved.

"Moral issues in the racing community mean alot to owners, sponsors, and the fans. Right is right, wrong is wrong", Roger states.



Roger, Barb and the Trucker's Team wishes T-Mez the best of luck.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Cindi, thanks for clearing this up for everyone. As I know you cannot speak about the details does anyone care to speculate what exactly T-Mez has done?

I hope he finds a ride as I find him entertaining to watch. He had a very good car at Tri State and I thought he could of took home the cash had it not been for a couple mistakes.

I wish Roger and Barb all te best and hope they have found their drivers in Scotty Weir and Daren Hagen.

Hagen is very entertaining to say the least!

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Jason is it really anyone elses business what he did to lose the ride. I think inviting speculation on the issue is the worst thing you could do. It is a private issue between T-Mez and the Tapy's. Let's leave it at that

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I was just making an observation. Nothing was said about kissing a**.

Also , I was not discounting your success on the track. You are a proven winner, and always a threat to win. The Truckers team is a solid outfit that would put you at some of the bigger races that we haven't seen you at. As a fan of the sport, I wish you the best in 2009.

Now does anyone know if Hagen and Weir are signed for next year? And if not, who would you like to see given the break?

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

The Tapy's just made the private matter very public by posting that message on here. A simple announcement of parting ways would not have invited speculation...

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Does anyone know if this team is coming out west for Perris and Manzy?

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

And so that gives you the right to know or make wild speculations that could hurt someones reputation??? Sorry I dont buy that and I doubt they do either. I dont think speculation about someones livelihood is ever "invited" no matter what you got out of that post. PS the post wasnt from the Tapy's

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Not at all, and in no way has anyone yet to do that. However, prior to that post no one was even aware that Mez was "discharged from the Trucker's Team... for inappropriate behavior...". That very specific post invited speculation.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, I am perfectly fine with the explanation and have no urge to speculate on it any further than that. It aint any of my business!

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I will start by saying I am not one who will argue on this message like little kids in the 1st grade.

How do you know this is a private issue to begin with? If it was so PRIVATE no post would of been made saying T-Mez was released from the team. I never once seen a post made from Roger & Barb concerning Daron Clayton. Now that may have been a PRIVATE issue.

I do not intend to start and rumors but as a fan of T-Mez I would like to know what is going on. If it is a personal issue I understand, but if it is racing related I would like to know.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

John, there a lot of folks posting on IOW who "know not and know not that they know not". It does tend to make a lot us somewhat weary of the BS which permeates so many threads here nowadays, but each of us has favorites, opinions, etc. which will fail to be agreed upon by some IOWers. Some have thoughts and opinions which we are more likely to agree with just because it was Marv, or Jerry, or Keith, etc. etc. who posted them.
But, what the H---! IOW is still the best "meeting place" for those of us who love the racing you are so lucky to have in Indiana.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

yes......

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Thanks for the info.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Maybe all of you JV race fans should get a life and stop trashing a team because of what you think is right. You all have no idea what happened, and if you did I am positive you would feel like a dipsh*t for talking out of your ass. Get the facts straight before you start running your mouths.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

:applaud::applaud:

JV Race Fans.... classic

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

I commend Roger and Barb Tapy on their decission. I also agree with your "moral issues" in the racing community. Very well said and done. :applaud:

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

i like t-mez he's a good guy... but like everyone else he has his demons and ya know it happend hes gonna get another ride hes got to much talent not to and hopefully hes learned a valuable lesson and both parties can be better for it

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

for the truckers car owners...if you have not signed anyone on for the upcoming 2009 season i think that danny holtsclaw had a pretty good season this year just had some bad luck or he would have racked up some wins at bloomington. just a thought he is a talented driver with a very good head on his shoulders.

Re: Truckers 10T ?
 

Dave,
Do you know what T-Mez did to get released? I would like to know as it seems this has been hidden from everyone. Let me know if you can.

Jason
