No. 1 Team:
– Brian Sullivan has been fined $250 and placed on probation through December 31st for disorderly conduct.
Carteret County Speedway has notified both teams of their penalties.
“It is unfortunate that we have to issue penalties, but we’re sending a message that we are not going to tolerate fighting or disorderly conduct,” track owner Bob Lowery said. “We will also have a zero-tolerance policy about participants entering the track while it is deemed hot by our officials moving forward. We have talked with both parties and they understand and accept responsibility for their actions. Carteret County Speedway is family-friendly venue and we expect our competitors to act as role models for younger fans to look up to.”
Drivers Emily Day and Brian Sullivan will be eligible to compete in the Short Track Shootout at Carteret County Speedway on Saturday, May 11th. The race will pay $2,500-to-win in the Legends division.
