All 4 court cases against Ginn dismissed
Quote selected text Published November 6th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Former Ginn Racing drivers Joe Nemechek and Sterling Marlin as well as former crew chiefs Peter Sospenzo and Richard “Slugger” Labbe apparently have reached settlements with former team owner Bobby Ginn. All four cases - filed in North Carolina Superior Court in Concord, N.C. - have been dismissed, indicating that settlements have been reached.
The drivers and crew chiefs were asking for the fulfillment of their contracts. The case files do not indicate how much they were paid, only that the drivers and crew chiefs have dismissed their claims. Ginn Racing merged with Dale Earnhardt Inc. in July, leaving Nemechek, Marlin, Sospenzo and Labbe as well as several other crew members without jobs. There are still two lawsuits involving other crew members pending against Ginn.
- AT&T asks for clarification on appeals court ruling
- Motorcoach driver fails in second attempt at NASCAR lawsuit
- Bliss sues Haas in contract dispute
- Court won’t move up NASCAR’s AT&T appeal
- Ginn hires marketing firm to find sponsors
Marlin settled for a new pair of shoes, a better toupee and driving lessons from The ARCA School Of Has Beens. Joe got two weeks free lodging at a Ginn Resort and the others thanked God they weren’t working at TEI.
Ouch.
Sounds like a fine settlement to me…
Joe landed a good deal after he had Wallace moved out of the way and Marlin solidified his Social Security checks will be sponsored by Ginn for a time while he is breaking in his new shoes at racing school.
