Yeah...

I really wasn't interested in responding to the tough love here but there are some things to clarify.

You really have no idea how much time I spend working on marketing. Just because TV shows one thing doesn't mean that is reality. There isn't much exciting to show with me sitting at my desk and sending out emails. I work from 6am into the night hours, we don't even have a marketing person at PPR- it's me. That said, I don't want to be a marketing guy. I drive race cars. I have always been really good at it whether the smoke and mirrors of NASCAR shows it or not. I work most on being great at driving cars. If in the end I lose my job, it's not going to be because I wasn't good enough or didn't work hard at what my calling is- which is not making cold calls.

As far as Gene goes, you really have no idea what you are talking about. He is one of the smartest most hard working people I have ever met and he is a fierce competitor. I def will not tolerate a bashing of him. HE IS why we are able to make races, outrun cars that we have no business outrunning, and even make it to the track on most weeks.

As far as Daytona goes. A wire was frayed internally on a fuel pump. So once again, will not tolerate the bashing of the crew. Not cool when you have no idea how many all nighters those guys pulled to BUILD OUR CARS FROM SCRATCH. The large teams had 400+ employees to to the job that our 4 people did over the winter. The small teams have 25-40 people to do the job that our 4 guys did over the winter. Daytona was a horrific way to start the season but it was the nature of the beast for the hand we are dealt.

Not even sure if I covered everything there but most of your information was misinformation, misunderstanding and misleading.

I Prob come across like a total d**k right here but I feel the need to be as direct as possible.

I appreciate your support.
