Dear FB community,
I got the call from a steward of the Seattle race who informed me that the VP U4.4 fuel did not pass their fuel test. My penalties are: DQ'd from the race, $350.00 bond fee, and a 3 month suspension of my license. The last penalty will take me out of the Run Offs.
I apologize to Stohr Cars, Hoosier Tires, F1000 Pro Series, and to you, the FB community, for any negativity/hardship that my action has caused. Had I known the possibility of such a severe penalty was there, I would never have chanced the VP fuel.
I will try to appeal the penalty, but not counting on much. Sorry again guys, I just feel sick about the whole situation.
Sincerely,
J.R. Osborne
