Three weekends ago, Torco's CompetitionPlus.com reported that General Motors motorsports head man Fred Simmonds was none too happy with the way the NHRA handled the move of their event in Columbus to Norwalk. Reportedly, Simmonds was notified via a voicemail on the day of the annoucement. Torco's CompetitionPlus.com knew of the announcement weeks in advance.

The general consensus was that GM was going to pull its loaner vehicles from the program but rumors suggest the event sponsorship will be pulled as well.

Torco's CompetitionPlus.com contacted Simmonds and asked him if he was planning to pull his sponsorship of the event. Simmonds responded, "I don't have any comment on that."

When asked when he will have a comment, Simmonds responded, "I hate to give you an answer and it be the wrong one, but it won't be this week for sure. I just don't know when. There are any questions on this there are no questions that are going to get answers right now." - Bobby Bennett
