I heard through the grapevine that he will get the big BSW trophy, thats y steeve melson did not get it.

I just asked Mitch and he stated that he does get the 3rd place trophy and the money - he just is not recognized by NASCAR. So he did not get the plaque given out by NASCAR.
I still don't think it is fair, especially if they kept his money for his NASCAR licence

How do I know, because they said so when they came to the plaques, and when they called his name for the trophy they said he wasn't there, and why.
Wow don't you guys listen lol

If you felt so bad for him, why did you accept the 3rd place - you could have told them that you finished in 4th and left it at that. I am not trying to start and arguement here and I don't want everyone to jump of Steve. I am just simply asking a question

I say lets quit pickin on Steeve, He did'nt do anything wrong in my books, Mitch will get his stuff from BSW just not from Nascar, Mitch and his dad need to aproach the track and disscuss this with them, and Nascar should reimburse his money, they never should have taken his money in the first place if he was too young, this issue needs to be left to BSW and Nascar..

this thread WILL NOT turn into a bash steve thread. points to ponder did nascar screw up by taking mitchs money -YES. did steve do anything wrong accepting third place or by his post here-NO-read them carefully with out malice, do not look for something to beat over the head. does nascar and barrie did to do something-YES- but give them time to do something if it does not get cleared up for next year at least then start yellin. last point does nascars rule book say anything about age-?- if it does then mitch and his team have to share some of the blame, we as racers should know the rule we race under, the excuse i did not know is weak.
