Report: Desoto Superspeedway Owner Assaults Female Touring Official
By Ted Fleming, TBSN - EXCLUSIVE
BRADENTON - John Sarppricone, the owner of Desoto Superspeedway in Bradenton, allegedly assaulted a female ASA Touring series official Friday night.
According to a Manatee County Sheriff official, a report was taken by a deputy and it is unknown at this time if an arrest was made.
Based out of Lexington, Michigan, the ASA Late Model Series (ASALMS) Southern Divisions was slated to race this weekend at the fast 0.375 Mile Semi-Banked Paved Oval, located South of Tampa/St. Petersburg Friday and Saturday October 5-6, 2007 for the Ninth Race of the 2007 season; The Seafest 100.
Another report has the ASALMS pulling out of the track and will not race this weekend, according to Tom Sherrill of the Florida Short Track Report.com which would keep area fans from watching one of the top touring series in the country.
The alleged incident comes on the heels of an announcement that the American Speed Association was in the process of being sold to Racing Speed Associates by Stephen M. Dale.
The 39-year old sanctioning body was to have a rare weekend with both their Northern and Southern series in action on the same weekend.
