What are your thoughts on running an open team and are you worried about Tyler Reddick’s contract and being lured away to another team?

“I don’t have any direct comment to that. All I can tell you, and this will be my blanket answer for all questions about this is, if you want answers, you want to understand all of why this is happening, come December 1st. You will get the answers that you are looking for and all will be exposed.”

Has anything changed that has made you second guess your decision to file the lawsuit?

“Not a chance.”

Have you talked about running open cars and what it would mean if 41 cars show up?

“December 1st is all that matters. Mark your calendar.” 

Was there a meeting at 23XI or any message to the team?

“No.”
