I'm just amazed at the number of people who think they have a right to race at this track or that one.

This stuff happens all over. Ever known anyone "removed" from a bar for any number of reasons?

I'm not taking up sides as I don't know what happened and don't know either party personally and as such have no dog in this fight.

John White can run his track anyway he see's fit and you can go or not go based on that.  It's a free country.

isn't new anyway. A short trip in the wayback machine yielded this >> http://blogs.courant.com/autoracing/2007/08/chris-jones-the-misunderstood.html

Bingo!
Also, why is this thread not titled "Lee Sharpsteen Locked Out"?  IMO being 3 time ROC champion shouldn't have any bearing on this decision at all.
This isn't the first time Lee has had major meltdowns and I'm thinking not the last.  So we're not on uncharted territory to say the least and what goes around......   
Lee should try to contact John White alone and present his case.  The need of family to fight his battle looks weak and counterproductive much like
raging war on social media.  WWW I think stands for World Wide Web.

There's three sides to every story:
Yours and mine and the cold, hard truth

I heard the head flagger and turn one flagger were laughing about getting him kicked out for stealing his brothers ride.

Some people have no flippen idea of what there talking about. Lee and his dad built that car over the winter !! Maybe the brothers helped, im not sure.
Point is ,he didn't steal anything.

Food for thought what about the head flagger texting other racers and trying to start a fight I can't remember who took a screen shot but it was all over fb but he still is flagging if anyone still has or can get the pics of it please post so I can make my point about this being a one sided deal

    Well it's definitely a tall cage, driver back car so it would have to be a dirt sportsman or modified.

The super stock division pretty much was a joke the last month anyhow, no snells, no Talada and M.Nichols running his gumby tires. What was once the best division is now a joke How about a little more it's my way or the highway J.W  Oh yeah they tried that at Shang.2 how did that work for them? ??

For one I am the turn 1 flagger and I have no Ill will toward Lee Sharpsteen on the race track at all. But I will tell you this I was glad to see him booted for one reason and one reason only. First of all he lied and said he had no breaks left on his car but isn't it funny when JW had him pull a tire there was plenty of pad and rotor left and he put a man life in danger for stupidity.  With that being said he is a hot head and got what he deserved in this situation. I will not bash him for the history that we have and nor do I believe he is a bad driver. But I will tell you his emotions get the best of him sometimes and in those times instead of using a 2500# ram rod he needs to cool off and step back and relax before running his mouth.

Not Having Any Brakes After A Race Has Nothing To Do With Pads And Rotors. It Has Everything To Do With Brake Fluid Boiling Over
