Wow. That's rough. Hopefully they'll make it back next year and also I'm suspecting Alex Jon will get snapped up by some other teams fairly quickly.

Wow. They were the class of the field at Daytona.Pole position. I think that crash shook up Bob Stallings pretty bad too. Class act there, all the best to the whole organization

Well, the Daytona car was certainly written off, and I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap to build a brand new one. Most likely financially motivated, more than anything else.

They were already running a limited North American Endurance Championship only effort, so really, they're only dropping out of three more races this year. Prepping a car from scratch between Daytona and Sebring is probably not the easiest of endeavors.

If you read the article, they state that it was entirely financial. Between the medical bills and the building of a new Trans-Am, er, DP car an already overstretched group hit their breaking point for this season.
