Orange Show Speedway fines three drivers
SAN BERNARDINO (Aug. 14, 2007) –
One driver has been fined for speeding and two others have been fined
for abusive language as a result of incidents that occurred during the
stock car races at Orange Show Speedway Saturday, Aug. 11.
Waldo Barker, the driver of the No. 1 Ford Pinto
in the ASA Stock Pony class, has been assessed a $50 fine for speeding.
Leno’s Rico Tacos Legends Cars driver Darren Amidon and Street
Stock driver Kyle Meyer have both received $50 fines for abusive language
and conduct detrimental to the sport.
The fines were assessed Saturday evening and announced
Tuesday by Director of Racing Joe Ganino Jr. following a review of all
three incidents. The fine must be paid before the driver can compete
in another event on the quarter-mile oval at the National Orange Show
Events Center .
Barker, of Palm Springs , was ruled to be in violation
of speedway Rule 1-18.1, which mandates a speed limit of 10 miles per
hour for all cars moving through the pit area.
Amidon, of Santee , was cited for violating Rule
6-1.3 (1), which stipulates the penalty for profanity toward an OSS
official or another competitor.
Kyle Meyer was fined under the provisions of Rule
6-1.1, which holds the driver responsible for the actions of his or
her team, after his car owner and spotter, Mike Meyer, was deemed in
violation of Rule 6-1.3 (1).
Also on Tuesday, the Versus television network announced
the broadcast dates for the two recent Lucas Oil ASA Modified Series
races at Orange Show Speedway. The July 21 race, won by Danny Gay, will
