->Getting thrown backwards 10 feet into his car while still in his pit stall by the same driver- nothing done.
->Having his crew chief Tommy punched by a modified driver while he was again still in their pit stall (why this driver needed to get involved is beyond me)- nothing done.
->Getting sent to the rear approx. 45 mins after the race is done because this driver complained to the 2 in charge and asking Mike to shake his hand and let's be friends?
You can discuss the racing incident as much as you like and get 3 different sides to it. But the happenings in his pit stall I was there to witness.
Now this may sound like sour grapes, but Mike would never do any of the above to another competitor. Mike has also been a very loyal supporter of everything Riverhead Raceway, and did not/does not deserve this treatment.
I seriously doubt you will see Mighty Mike anytime soon.
