HERBERT CONFIRMS LEGAL ACTION AGAINST FORMER CREW CHIEF

Top Fuel racer Doug Herbert confirmed that he's filed criminal charges against his former crewchief Wayne Dupuy.

"When he left he was under the impression that all the parts that he’d worked on were his, and all the records were his," Herbert said. "I did everything I could do to get him to give them back, and so at that point, unfortunately, it goes to the next level.  The reason why it’s taken so long is that they do an investigation because when they put a felony grand larceny charge against someone they want to be sure they’re right.  All I did was sign a complaint saying I wanted my parts back, and he refused, so then it went to the district attorney.  I love Wayne, but the way that he did this, well, if you look back in history this isn’t the first time there’ve been problems like this.  I hate it and I wish it hadn’t happened, but I also wish I had my parts back." - Jon Asher
