Anyboby know if Sammy pulled out of running the Kings Royal?

on his website he had it on his schedule to race all 3 days and now it is removed completely from his schedule and was wanting to know if he pulled out or its a glitch on his website? Thanks in advance!!

I hope its a mistake.Lernerville and the grove I do believe where on theree

also now there not

His condoms will not be in by then so he had to pull out.

Yes lernerville and the grove were on there and the Doty race and now there all missing from there and I cant understand why when he is the winningest active driver at eldora but maybe someone knows why he would withdraw from these races that he has had on his schedule all year it just dont make sense... Ohh well just frustrated

Maybe it has something to do with him getting lapped and not being competitive at Knoxville and other tracks where he has always run well. Have you noticed the King has hung it up as well. I would say they have to much pride to be back markers getting lapped.

I have noticed that he has been doing lots of testing on that car and has struggled but also know at eldora he could catch a break and start towards the front and be very difficult to beat just like anybody elses that starts up front at eldora or at any other track these days.

most of woo races are won with drivers starting up front 

When it comes to running with the WoO at any track Sammy's not competitive.   Just the facts, he needs to be running ASCS where he can run a different tire.   

I watched him at last NSL race and He was a good as any car there finishing 2nd from 4th row.Probably 5 cars there that could be in top 10 at Nationals.The NSL has 5 of the top drivers anywhere right behind Schatz and as good as Pittman,Sweet and Dale Blaney on any given night.I assume Big Game wants him at as many NSL shows with Lasoski as it hard to get enough top cars no matter what the purse  is on off nights.I know he has many fans and distractors that help sell tickets.

The NSL is nowhere near the WoO. At Knoxville/Jackson/I-80, where they have far more laps than any WoO car, they are competitive. When they go to neutral tracks, like Granite City last Wed, you see results like this..

A-Main - (30 Laps) - 1. 2-Shane Stewart [2]; 2. 49-Brad Sweet [4]; 3. 29-Kerry Madsen [1]; 4. 9-Daryn Pittman [5]; 5. 41-Jason Johnson [6]; 6. 5-David Gravel [11]; 7. 1S-Logan Schuchart [14]; 8. 1A-Jacob Allen [15]; 9. 7S-Jason Sides [7]; 10. 83-Joey Saldana [3]; 11. 18-Ian Madsen [8]; 12. 2KS-Craig Dollansky [10]; 13. 21-Brian Brown [16]; 14. 7-Paul McMahan [18]; 15. 2L-Danny Lasoski [9]; 16. 55-Brooke Tatnell [12]; 17. 19-Paige Polyak [17]; 18. 44-Chris Martin [20]; 19. 5G-Dave Glennon [21]; 20. 13-Clyde Knipp [23]; 21. 20A-Jordon Adams [22]; 22. 19L-Rob Caho [24]; 23. 15-Donny Schatz [19]; 24. W20-Greg Wilson [13].

Hey, every one of them beat Schatz...

Just kidding

If I am not mistaken that was probably Clyde Knipp's first career A-Main finish ahead of Schatz as well.  

I was told that CJB was not fielding a car for Sammy at the Kings Royal and it was between CJB and Sammy

neither side will say why this is happening and are wanting it hush hush,but i know it was on Sammy's Schedule all year along with the Doty race

and lernerville and the Grove and now there all pulled from his schedule..... I will never understand this move by CJB when he has just as good of a chance as anybody in the pits at the Royal to win and if not finish well.... Eldora is probably his best racetrack and for me will be shitty not to see him race. Hopefully Sammy calls it quits and stays quit versus being disrespected by CJB who clearly does not want him as there driver anymore but are beating around the bush to come out and say it..... I dont beleive for one second that Big Game would have ever sponsored CJB without Sammy IMO

And these are all facts you are crowing about?  Looks to me like you have a lot of "opinions" on this matter but absolutely nothing to back it up.  Remember, there are always 2 sides to every story and you happen to have neither of them at this time.  Yet you come on here bawling about something you have no facts to base your crying on.  From the looks of things, the team may have parted ways with the driver or the driver may have parted ways with the team.  Maybe they are just taking a break and getting ready for Knoxville?  No matter what is going on, it is obvious you don't know but have chosen to sound your golden trumpet anyway.  Why not sit back and wait for a press release or comment from one of the parties involved?

Sammy would have as good a chance to win the Kings as anyone in the pits?   I hardly think so.    He would be lucky to make the A and would probably be lapped traffic if he did.    Sorry, but that's just recent history.    

Thats a fact that cjb wont field a car for him at the royal

its a fact that they said its between cjb and sammy and wont say why

its a fact sammy is on twitter deflecting to cjb to answer why hes not racing

damn man quit getting on my ass cause im a sammy fan

its a fact that the royal is a lottery race with the format the way it is

its a fact whos up front wins these woo races generally with few exceptions

its a fact that anybody in the pits has a chance at winning that race the way its done

if sammy is deflecting to cjb for answers and saying on twitter that he will be at the royal but dont know if hes driving

then its a fact there is a issue

This! The problem with Sammy being a lapped car is that he typically trys to race the leaders so without him there that won't be happening this year....

sorry didnt sammy just win the kings royal 3 years ago?..bottom line is he can get the job done but has to have the equipment to get it done..cjb has had problems in the past trying to field 2 cars so obviously there is a situation brewing here

It's a fact that there is nothing at all on Sammy's twitter page regarding this issue.

It's a fact that your opinion only says the Royal is a lottery race

It's a fact that your definition of WoO races being won up front generally happen but the real fact is the 15 wins from anywhere and this is usually not an exception

It's a fact that you are wrong about anybody in the pits having a chance to win the Royal.  I'd say somewhere between 25-40 percent at best.

Like I said, quit your bawling.

he does say on his twitter that he will be at the royal but he may not have a ride..the whole premise of the deal with cjb was to run the big money races so to pull out of the royal to me indicates there is a problem or they totally want to focus on gravel..if thats the case sammy needs to take big game and all the $$ he bought in sponsorship to cjb and move on
