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.

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.

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.

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.
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:

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.

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
