UPDATE: Statement from Armando Fitz. "I am extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled. I had an understanding with former Driver Joel Kauffman to remedy a deficit in pay early this week. The fact that (law firm) Homesley, Goodman & Wingo exposed a potential situation the day before I intended to make good is upsetting. The deficit was the result of a contract technicality at the time of his termination. Most teams encounter financial roadblocks, especially stand-alone Nationwide teams that have limited funding. But instead of taking the easy way out, we continue to take the high road by rectifying our financial issues. Making good financially while also keeping our commitment to our sponsors to show up at the race track each week is an uphill battle, yet we continue to be competitive week in and out regardless of the how bad things get. I still intend to make good on what I owe Joel this week. But for Homesley, Goodman & Wingo to expose me by using the power of the media and websites that my peers, sponsors and potential future sponsors frequent is what bothers me the most. I'd like to apologize to my sponsors and employees who are indirectly affected by this negativity, and thank them for their continued support and hard work."(8-25-2008)
