Since before the start of this season, there have been many “signs” and  hints thrown our way concerning this season and our team.  Broken motors, broken cars, broken drivers, broken haulers, and lost sponsorships being a few of them, and we ignored every one of them to continue our quest.  Some on the team have even suggested that these “signs” may have been coming from Rich in the great beyond, trying to tell us something of importance, but like before, we ignored them.  

We have finally received one more sign that we can’t ignore, and for that reason, while we are planning to be racing with you at Holland this Saturday night, it will unfortunately be our last as a team.  Dave will be driving the No. 2 car, a touch of nostalgia for old times sake, but after the race is finished, the team Unforgiven Motorsports/Whittaker Absolom Racing will be suspending operations indefinitely and the No. 2 car will be going up for sale.  The fate of the other two cars is yet to be determined.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has, over the years, lent a hand to help us out with fixing the cars when we needed the help, given us a word or two of encouragement when we really needed it, helped us out when things were bleak, and celebrated with us when things went well.  And we would be remiss if we didn’t extend a big thank you for those that consider themselves our fans.  

We would like to invite ya’ll to our campsite after the race to share in one last toast for old times sake, as we go out with no ill feelings towards anyone, only the deepest regrets we have to leave.

A huge thank you to the whole CupLite family for making this experience the great ride it has been and wish those remaining only success and good luck.

Our Best to All,

David, Glenn, Darin, Diane, Sue, Kathy and Sarah.

                 

This is indeed sad news.  Since the inception of the Cup Lites, part of the initial mission statement included most everything this team stands for. We initially grew as a family of competitors. We raced hard and played hard.  Disputes were quickly quelled and there were no lone sheep.  Everyone pitched in when needed. Yes there were intense rivalries but the racing was for the most part was left on the track.  The REAL fun began afterward!

It was certainly a pleasure to have your team around and I greatly respect your decision.  Best wishes in whatever direction you decide to go.

Kelly and I have a wedding early but we will try to stop by the "Gypsy Camp" for a last blast.

As always, yours in racing!

Obviously I totally understand.

Where will you guys be camping?  I would like to stop by and hang out.  Need to talk to you guys about a few things before you make any permanent decisions.

Kevin

Speaking on behalf of the team, let me first say thank you all for the kind words, even from my very good friend Simon. I'm impressed and appreciate them.  
I can also say, it just makes this that much harder, especially for me.  
Kevin, we should be  camping up in back somewhere along the tree line.  Our campsite should be very easy to find, it will be the only one with the motorhome with the blue duct tape door!!  And I will be easy to spot, I'll be the only sober one standing.  
Looking forward to seeing ya'll there.
