Blackflaggedonline.com received a copy of a letter that the Darlington Raceway SAFER Barrier sent to NASCAR yesterday upon the release of the entry list for this Saturday’s Dodge Challenger 500. It appears the SAFER Barrier has gone on strike!!!

Dear NASCAR:

DID YOU EVEN SEE THE RACE THIS PAST WEEKEND IN RICHMOND? Better yet, did you see the wreck involving Patrick Carpentier? Obviously you didn’t see how hard that Canadian bastard hit my cousin Richmond because you are damn crazy if you think I am going to show up for work on Saturday if that S.O.B. is on the track.

Please consider this letter as my official notification that I am going on strike beginning today.

I have not only supported NASCAR since I first started showing up on tracks in 2002 but I have been keeping its drivers safe. And this is how you repay me? I refuse to come back to work till this man apologizes to my cousin.

Whatever you decide to do, please let me know so that I can share your decision with all the SAFER Barriers involved in the Strike.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon.

A very concerned,

Darlington Raceway SAFER Barrier
