One more thing:
Regarding the track owner/promoter from Auburndale.
I was told that the only reason he got involved was because the officials first stated that both cars go to the rear until they saw that Wayne’s car was done for the night and on the hook and then changed their ruling to both cars out of the race.
And like someone posted earlier, the penalty to the 84 (Anderson) did not fit the crime. Anderson endangered others and verbally and physically threatened the other driver, #21.
I know for a fact that Anderson did physcially assault the #21 driver in the driver’s meeting. So, who started what???? And I do think that at that point the track owner or officials conducting the meeting should have escorted Mr. Anderson off the premises for the night, the season, or forever.

I agree with Mahar & Lfries. It is time somebody put Wayne Anderson in his place. That whole deal was rigged. If you followed the whole series it was convenient how the quantity of cars to be inverted after qualifying changed everytime and how Wayne always ended up at the front. No one could be that lucky!! Not even “Wayne Anderson”. I bet if someone besides Wayne would have set up Dalton Zahr’s car, you would have seen a different outcome. He really knows how to feed them a line of %hit and make them like to eat it, too.
It is so evident why Wayne has never gone any further and it is not his lack of skill, it is his lack of professionalism, laziness, bad sportsmanlike conduct and an overall attitude which resembles the following saying: “Hurray for me and to hell with everybody else!” That being said I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire!
If Wayne spent 1/2 as much time at his shop, working on his car as he does working at not working, he might move up instead of around in circles, no pun intended. He is like a buzzard!
And if you think the #21 was out to get Wayne, think again. He has better things to do, like crew chief a Nascar Craftsman Truck team which is moving up thru the ranks. He doesn’t pretend to play with racecars, he builds successful race teams from the ground up and at a higher level than Wayne Anderson could ever maintain. Wayne might have bulled his way into upper level racing or used Dicky’s (his Dad) reputation to get him there but it was short lived because he doesn’t have the whole package, like the #21 driver and team seem to have.
And to Karl who commented above, I know several people who have worked for Wayne in the past and may again in the future but they didn’t have to wipe the brown off their face when they went home everyday. You would have been better off not mentioning the fact that you work for this idiot. Unless you are a volunteer, consider the wrecked race cars job security.
I sealed my opinion about Wayne Anderson when I attended the last Powell Memorial Race before the track went back to dirt at Ocala Speedway. I witnessed first hand, with an open mind, how he manipulated the track owners/promoters, as well as, his clients, as he smoozed around in their rig and had prearranged a catered victory barbecue for after the race at the clients’ expense. Ironic how the only tires left for the choosing were not what anyone would want, yet, Wayne had more than enough for himself and his client, of various sizes, for his choosing. But, the kicker was when I wandered over to have some barbecue and mingle about I heard this very strange, squeaky, almost feminine voice, rambling on about how great he was. And to my surprise this voice was coming from Wayne Anderson. I had to turn around and look or I would have never believed it. What a joke! After hearing that tone in his voice I knew he was full of it! Can you say, snake in the grass? If you ask me they should change the name of the business and name it after his wife… White Trash Racing, where you can turn good money bad or bad money good, depends on which side you’re on.
And just one more thing and I will quit, if any of you fans or participants alike witnessed Wayne’s wife in the pit stands that night in Auburndale you would agree with the name change. Sad part is they have a couple of kids neither of which get 1/2 the time they deserve. In fact, that night when Wayne’s car went off the track on the hook, she not only made an ass out of herself and discredited the series as a whole by screaming at the FAST officials how she wanted the #21 out of her series. Ironic how two of the head phones wearing officials were positioned in the pit stands directly in front of her. Then she ran behind Wayne like a kid back to their pit stall, all the while paying no attention to her son who immediately crashed out on the track. I wonder if he even had a spotter at that point. So, then they had two wrecked race cars (more job security Karl). Maybe if everyone didn’t baby Wayne so and he had to “man up” and if his barefooted, white trash wife, wasn’t his spotter he could do something with his career. No offense to women because I am one but women don’t tend to make the best spotters, especially uneducated, barefooted, trashy, loud and foul mouthed ones. Did I mention how she also lit into the #21 driver’s wife, who is a professional, business lady, dressed prim and proper like, who was shocked to say the least but amazingly came back with a few witty responses. Although, I think the best response would have been: “Look where my husband is and look where yours is” which applied to the race and to their careers.

Don, I too have raced up North. That being said you can say what you want but, while you were watching the race did you see the #21 take out wayne on LAP 4. Are you kidding me. What the hell. Were you wearing your beer goggles or what.
Jesus man, lap 4 and your racing like it was the last lap. he had it out for wayne from the beginning if you knew any better. Past problems with this guy, period. he took advantage of the fact that he had an opportunity to mess with Wayne and he did it. I work on Wayne’s cars, i know.I was listening on the radio. My ass had to repair it because of this idiot. Did you also see the car owner of the #21 laughing because he took him out. No, you didn’t. It was all planned. Wayne races people the way you race him. You mess with him, God help you in your decision. That’s all i have to say.

well here’s the deal Wayne Anderson is a rough driver because thats what he does for a living,you are not going to pass him,or he will just bank board you in the corner ,or run you in the wall to get the check he needs ,anybody can pass a car by laying on their bumper going in a corner ,pass them when they slip a little great drivers will time you get under you put a tire on your door not bank board you going in a corner,sounds like another little race track that lets there boys run over cars ,asa ,hooters will load his car & send him & any driver out of their track forever , he should have went to jail,& black balled from every race track in FL.Shame on the track owner ,it just a little RED NECK RACE TRACK

I am not so sure that Mr Mohar and I saw the same latemodel race,on march 20 .but I think Mr Mohar mised the part where the 21 car tried to move everyone out of hisway to get back up front where he tried to takeout the 84 car by beating on the right rear quater panel leaving the 84 no option but to turnright into the 21car both are very agresive drivers what else could have happened. not a wane anderson fan

I appreciate the opportunity of reading your posting explaining the official side of what took place at Auburndale. I spend the winter months in Florida attending as many late model races as possible and now have moved back up north for the summer racing season . I have been a race car fan for many years and agree with you that rough driving can not be tollerated. It is both dangerous and ultimately results in car repair costs to both those involved and often others who happen to be in the wrong place.
The reason I am writing is that I feel your actions and subsequent penalties don’t match what we as fans saw. This seriously undermines the credability of your series. We all know that Wayne is involved in a management capacity with your series and it looks like he is being given favourtism because of this. As I mentioned I love racing and I was so happy to see your series start but now I am afraid this kind of management will destroy it.
From a fan point of view we got to see some of the best driving from those two drivers that I have ever seen. Both of those two cars should have wrecked numerous times but nothing short of amazing car control kept them racing. I have never seen that kind of car control before as both drivers did their utmost to not give an inch to the other and to take two inches if possible. Before they crashed in turn one the cars came down the front straight in front of us and Wayne Anderson who was on the inside of the track had his wheels turned hard to the right against the other guy who was already against the outside track wall. I think he just got tired of racing with the #21 car. In my opinion what would have been done at most tracks and surely in the PASS SERIES which I am familiar with is the starter would have shown the black flag to both drivers long before the turn one crash. I realize you said you made mistakes and I expect you are already aware of this. As no black flag had been shown prior to the crash the only logical thing the officials should have done was to warn the two drivers that this sort of thing would not be tolerated and if those cars got together again they would be parked for the night. Now the thing that bothered me and many around us was when Wayne Anderson turned his car around and drove at the #21 driver. Thankfully that guy ran to the wall and Wayne stopped short. However, he then got out of his car and assaulted the other guy. It took track officials to drag him away and we could hear him screaming what he was going to do next time. There is no question he should have been parked for the night or even longer. Truthfully, I am amazed that the #21 guy didn’t request the police officers on site to charge Wayne with some kind of assault. I bet if you would call PASS and ask Tom Mayberry what he would do in a similar situation he would tell you he would have had Wayne charged himself and I bet he would not be racing any more this year. Hopefully my comments won’t be taken wrong. I didn’t know about the track manager disagreeing with you folks concerning the #21 car until reading your comments but I agree completely with him there was no reason to park the #21 without a warning and felt by letting you know what us fans thought might help you in future situations. You might want to consider that Wayne should either be a series racer or part of management but not both. It looks bad when this kind of thing take place. Please try to do better in future as we all want this series to prosper.
