You can't be talking about the IRL. Why would they want an American people know of?

I can't believe USAC would shoot themselvs in the foot again. I figured they have shot themselves in the foot enough there wouldn't be afoot left to shoot.

Thank you pgray...I have been a long time reader of IOW and Trackforum, however, nothing in the past has got my attention quite like this situation has. Knowing Greg for several years, I felt obligated this time to voice my opinion and thats all it is "my opinion"! I'm a sprint car and USAC fan and I have a family member within USAC, could be a driver, owner, mechanic or even a employee, so to keep this family memeber from catching grief for "MY" opinion, it's best to keep my identity to myself.

IF this is a true fact about gregg stabb being let go from usac at the end of may.This is a big loss for usac he is one of hardest working people I have ever seen in the sport and knowing gregg he allways looks out for the racers as he once was his self.This is a man that has devoted his life to this sport and is allways looking ahead to make the sport better for fans and racers. Hope this is just a rumor .

Your identity is not important ; your unique insight is what got my attention and I felt certain that the opinion expressed was from someone close to this situation ... apparently I was right.

It seems that Gregg will be leaving USAC and if this is by their choice , those that were looking for a rebirth of USAC through the new leadership need not look further or continue to hold hope for an improved organization. The handwriting is on the wall ... USAC will continue to be just a minor "club" in motorsports. Very sad , indeed.

Many will find it difficult to be a :usacfan

sucks about Stabb, but lets not all throw Jason Smith and Jason McCord (along with Bill Carey) under the bus just yet. All of them are really great people who certianly didn't have anything to do with said firings...

USAC will still move forward ! Kevin & the Jason's are a combination of marketing big busness and racers. Greg is doing a great job of getting races at different tracks and fixing sprintweek with double dates.
Klepper has a voice that should care him well on TV.
We have seen big changes in racing and USAC before, It still keeps tickin" !!!
The seas are rough right now but lets see where and what USAC becomes at years end. Everybody claimed a need to change over the years. Well race fans change has come and lets see where it goes ?

Since my post on Friday morning I have had the opportunity to speak with someone at USAC and briefly with Gregg Staab at Brownstown. Gregg is understandably heartbroken over this. To him I can only say THANK YOU for your tireless efforts to make our sport better. I sincerely wish that you find a place in racing that makes you happy and allows us as fans to continue to reap the benefits from your love of our sport. As for USAC we need to remember, as D.O. stated, that change was promised when the new regime assumed their positions Dec. 1st. "Right the ship" was a term used. The very nature of that job suggests that not all decisions made would be popular ones. This decision is incredibly unpopular. Let's just see where it goes and not let our emotions dictate our thinking.

i know greg very well and working with usac was a big part of his dreams sad that they will let someone go like him he is one of the must hard-working people i know.
