I am apologizing to both Tim and Nick and their race team and families for a personal attack I made against them through a text Saturday night at Brownstown. I do not in any way defend my actions. I made a very bad mistake and am very sincere in apologizing.

The two of you have had one of the greatest TQ seasons of anyone in history and I apologize for in any way taking away from that with a stupid remark.

I apologize to Brett Hankins as well for dragging him into the situation.

I embarassed my car owner Roger Ramsey, my family, and most of all myself with these comments and am shamed for that.

Sincerely,
Tate Martz
