The Southeast Super Truck Series announced this morning that they’ve removed the remaining dates at Greenville Pickens Speedway. Tonight at Greenville Pickens Speedway it was announced that the track will be replacing those dates with Truck events but not Southeast Super Truck Series affiliated.

In an interview with Greenville Pickens Speedway promoter Anthony Anders, he stated that there was a disagreement with Southeast Super Truck Series owner Jeff Myers and he would be running his own events on the previously SEST held dates.

“We’re just going to continue on with what we had planned,” said Anders. “We’ll be running the trucks with a bigger payout, it just won’t be a Southeast series race. I think there’s enough trucks down here that it won’t hurt them either. I’m not out to hurt them but I need races to complete my schedule and I’m not going to do it with them.”

Southeast Super Truck Series owner Jeff Myers said that he didn’t really want to comment on the situation but offered that Anders was free to run whatever races he’d like to at his race track.

“I don’t really know what to say,” said Myers. “I don’t want to start a war. It’s entirely up to him, it’s his race track and he can do what he wants. We just had a disagreement on the rules for the truck series. He wanted us to change the rules and we didn’t.”

“He (Anders) did a burn out and tore up a tire and he wanted to use a Mulligan,” continued Myers. “He wanted to use it but the way our rules read he couldn’t use it after doing a burn out. You can either make 15 drivers and teams mad or one mad. He decided not to run our series at his track and that’s his decision. I have no problem with it.”

Both guys offered that wish no ill will toward the other one but would do what was in the best interest of their series or track respectively.

“I’m going to pay a bigger purse $1,500 to win and see what kind of fields we can draw for the Trucks on June 4th,” commented Anders. “We have about 14 trucks who have confirmed that they were interested in running, many that have been just sitting around in trailers or on jack stands. We don’t anticipate getting many Southeast series trucks and that’ll be good for both of us.”

Myers added that he was having a meeting this week to discuss possibilities of filling the Greenville dates.

“We’re going to have a meeting this week and figure out where we’re going from here,” explained Myers. “We’d like to replace all the dates and we’ve got a lot of support to do so.”

The Southeast Super Truck Series will be in action next at Newport Speedway on June 18th unless a replacement for Greenville is announced this week.

Greenville Pickens Speedway’s new Late Model Truck division will compete for the first time on June 4th. Additional dates will be announced soon.
