Lasoski Out At Loyet Motorsports
Official Statement – Loyet Motorsports
Tulsa, OK – Loyet Motorsports has released Danny Lasoski from his driving duties at the 2010 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals.
The decision to relieve Lasoski comes as a response to the financial situation stemming from the Bull Ring Midget Nationals at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Lasoski and Scott Pennington were promoters of the December 18-19 event.
Loyet Motorsports feels they have an obligation to show support to the other owners and drivers who participated in that event. “We hold no ill-will to Danny, but felt that it was best for both parties to go their separate ways at this time” said team owner Joe Loyet.
Lasoski competed in Tuesday night’s event for the team. There will be no replacement driver for the event.

Why I Don’t Watch NASCAR
The following commentary is from my friend and fellow race blogger Jason Orth. You can read more of his excellent work at his site – HeartlandRaceNews.com.
Why I don’t watch NASCAR
I had planned this for just after “pothole-gate,” but my own procrastination made that irrelevant. Now with “Edwards-gate” I got back to work.
For being the king of American auto racing (right now), I can’t stand watching NASCAR.
What impetus got me to write out my feelings? Well, yeah, it was the pothole, but more so it was the incessant Facebook NASCAR love-fest I saw on the day of the Daytona 500. I still can’t understand why people watch this sh*t.
