    Glenn, we reported when called and didn't even know you weren't there or why until we were already up on the podium, since they called you last and there was a good sized crowd of people around the podium area. We stood up there looking around for you, but then they just kept going with the ceremony. I do regret we didn't get back in time to get the 2nd shot, but I'm not going to agree it was unsportsmanlike for us to be there. It was not our fault they called CMC before the results were final and you were released from impound. I know for a fact that your car was not still in impound because I was driving behind it back to the paddock when I was finally released. If you were still in impound it was for reasons unrelated to the tech inspection of your car. Let's just end this topic, since we all have our opinions about what constitutes sportsmanlike conduct, on track and off.

    your right, Jeff drove my car back. i had contact paperwork to do. one of which at the time was my fault. later i realized another was too. regardless of why i was there, i HAD to be there. and i'm not the only one who feels the same on this issue of sportsman like conduct. the Race Director, and the National Director both feel the same.

    Thanks guys. Was really wanting that podium. Kinda feel I was robbed. Getting moved from 2nd to ninth in qualifying really hurt.
