    Barrett Suspended by Valenti Modified Racing Series for 2 Races
    VMRS - 7/2/12
    Valenti Modified Racing Series competitor Tommy Barrett, of Millis Mass, has received a two-race suspension and is on probation for the rest of the 2012 season, the result of aggressive driving at Lee USA Speedway, Lee, NH., Friday night, June 29.

    Barrett was notified of the series decision on Monday. July 2

    Series Race Director Pete Newsham made the announcement following the notification.

    “The Valenti Modified Racing Series, since it’s inception, has taken a strong stand on aggressive driving. This is an unfortunate situation but based on the Seekonk issue, and what happened at Lee, the series is forced to take action. We preach respect and patience in this series. Tommy Barrett is a very talented driver. We hope by this decision he will learn from it.”

    Barrett was fined and placed on probation by the series for the same infraction after last months race at Seekonk, MA.

    Barrett will be eligible to return to competition when the series goes to Thompson International Speedway, Thursday, July 26

    And he's yet to receive any purse money for taking the green flag and running 92 of 100 laps? What kind of racing series is the MRS running?

    Simple.
    He was sat down for the rest of the event, not DQ'd.
    Suspension was after the fact for future events.

    YO JED, beg to differ with you !!!! That BOGUS MS series considers that kid Disqualified & will not pay him one cent even though he completed 92 laps. And people wonder why I question the legitimacy of that organization. I talked with John Darby @ NHMS & even he said "BOGUS" to MS series. So glad I did most my 30 years of racing with NASCAR. Lucky me, 4 SURE !!

    The press release for the Lee race mentions nothing about him being DQ'd and has him listed as finishing 19th. The subsequent press release about him being suspended doesn't mention anything about a DQ at Lee either. It seems like he should receive 19th place pay.

    Guessing here but I'm thinking Mario and "uncle" Jack don't exchange Christmas cards. I'd love to know why all the vitriol from you Mario. If you don't like the series I get that but the venom just pours out you for the MRS. Kinda scary.
