Truckers # 10
 

Roger & Barb owners of R&B / Truckers 24hr Would like to thank all the fans-the tracks-other teams & drivers and
all the vendors And Sponsors We had to make the decision to shut our racing operation down. The price of
Racing has increased so much that its starting to affect the Profitability of Truckers 24 hr I had to make the
decision as A Business owner that when you have to cut expenses that the racing would have to end I cant
keep racing and continue to have Employees laid off I have to keep in mind the affect it has on our other 31
employees

I hope we havent made too many fans- drivers mad over the last 9 years Barb and myself will still be around
This being my very 1st post I hope its readable and says things in a positive post
THANKS TO EVERY FOR THE YEARS OF SUPPORT

To all the drivers who has driven for Barb and Myself I would like to thank you !!!

Good Luck to all the teams and Drivers Keep the Rubber on the Ground

Roger & Barb

Roger and Barb,

It won't be the same without seeing that familiar Black and Yellow Spit Shined Rig rolling into the Big Shows. In our short time in Indiana, it has been a familiar sign that proved we were in the "Right Place". We always knew were going pretty good when we were near those Yellow and Black cars in a race. They were always up front. I think it is only right that you had one of the best drivers and fine Gentleman Jerry Coons, Jr. in your car for the last race. It has been a pleasure racing with you guys and I certainly understand the decision. It is admirable. We wish you the very best. :6:

Sad but understandable. We'll miss those black/yellow machines that were "sprint car racing" for so many years and with so many great drivers. I always felt good when I came into a track and saw the Trucker's hauler in the pits and the cars warming up. Best of luck with your other ventures. :13:

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Seems to me it takes a great deal of integrity to set aside an activity you love in an effort to save the jobs of your employees. Can't imagine anyone that could disagree with that philosophy or business decision. Hopefully it will be a temporary situation and when things pick up again you will be back at it. Thanks for all you've done and hope to see you out there again soon.
David.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

You guys were a mainstay in sprintcar racing. We all could bet the truckers car(s) would be at the races. It was great you gave so many guys a chance to race your cars. Congratulations on your past achievements and hopefully more to come when things get better. :8:

Re: Truckers # 10
 

It has been gone over and over about cost. I remember a ton of heat brought down on Kevin Briscoe for trying ANYTHING to help curb costs. Now, the slim Owner ranks is cut even slimmer. Would not be surprised to see more of this sort of thing, and that makes me sad :13:

Both Rodger & Jim are fantastic people! Always have been, and I am proud to call them both friends! They have both helped out our little operation many, many times. Thank you!
The sport is certainly going to miss your dedication.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Yes to everything which has been said so far. I certainly will miss you. Somehow, this seems like the passing of an era. Best of luck and hope to see you again.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Roger and Barb, you will never understand how much it meant to Shane when you asked him to drive your race cars, he felt like a kid from north carolina was part of the indiana sprint car world. I'm sure i speak for everyone who has been around your team when I say it was a class act. Thanks for everything, don't be a stranger.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Roger,Barb,Jim,Cindi,Matt and everyone associated with R&B Racing. Most of all THANKS for all that you have done for Sprint Car racing.Alot of people have no clue what all of you have done to better this passion of ours.(not that I claim to)Too many instances that I have "heard" of you guys helping people out when they needed it, maybe a tire, pit pass money, some race fuel or whatever.
My favorite might be this past summers TNT tour.A certain driver got together whatever resources that he could to run the TNT deal, he had a misfortune to crash at State Fair Speedway,in talking to him while he was working on his car,I asked how bad, he said just bolt on stuff, but he also said I can't handle any more crashes.
Shortly after that I was told that he would have a ride Saturday nite at Lakeside if he needs it, "put him in the backup car if need be, this race is named after his dad and he should be in it."
We understand the decesion that was made,looking out for your employess, what a rarity in this world anymore.We commend you for that.
To all of you, THANKS again, may God Bless You.:9: See you at a track soon.:22:

Truckers 24 Hr Racing~

Thank you for just being good people. Good people are what this sport is about and you are the epitome of that. It is sad to see you have to make this choice, but we are selfish in wanting to keep you around. Your sacrificing our "entertainment and passion" for others well-being and lives which just proves the great people you are. I have become fond of all of you and know you will not be strangers to the sport you care about and love. Thank you for everything. It is not a goodbye, but just a merely knod of the head for the work you've done. :9:

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Cindi, Rodger, Jim. Can't say how much respect for just putting the time, effort and money into racing all these years. You not only ususally had one car but often two making a field and helped others along the way.
Results are varied and always are. Unlike the bashers. I want to say Thank You for your participation and I hope you can continue in some way or return someday.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

you wont find better people anywhere in racing than you will at truckers.....im sorry things turned out the way they did! :7:

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Sorry to see this happen, but unfortunately a sign of the times. Not many owners who hire drivers left, and the Truckers 10 & 12 will be missed. Thanks for your years in the sport.

And I'll always regret we didn't get to see Terre Haute Rob wheel one for you.....;)

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Barb, Roger and Team,

We will miss seeing you at the track. Thank you for everything you have done for us. It is folks like you that have made it possible to do what we're doing. You can rest assure that we will always have a Truckers 24hr car in our line-up. We even brought it with us to California.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

As a fan, when the Trucker's car would pull on to the track for the first time each night, it would definately get my attention. You knew that they had a stout car, and were a threat to take the :22: that night. Thank you for the pleasure of watching your team over the years.

Re: Truckers # 10
 

Barb and Roger,

I can't Thank You enough for EVERYTHING you have done for me. I love you guys like family. The biggest moment in my career was in your car and I'll never forget that. You guys where always there when I needed you. I couldn't have done it with out you. Thanks again for EVERYTHING!
