TED responds to ASE not returning in '09.
“I’ve never driven a Truck Series race without ASE stickers on my truck since I moved to the series full-time in 2001. They have always been with me in some form or fashion. They sponsored Jimmy Smith (owner, Ultra Motorsports) almost from the start of the series and when he expanded to two teams in 2001 and hired me they were a co-sponsor on my Mopar truck. They were there with me when I won the championship in 2005. When Jimmy shut down Ultra, ASE came with me and they’ve been with me ever since. They are the longest running sponsor in the history of the series. But nothing lasts forever and they’ve had to evaluate how they spend their marketing money and they’ve decided it’s time for them to move on. We hate to see them go because they’ve been such strong supporters of the series and of me personally, but at the same time we understand. When you look at how many companies have come and gone since they have been here, it’s in the hundreds. It really has meant something to me to be involved with a company that is so dedicated to the sport. I hope we can get up and contend for a win or two for them before the end of the season and send them out in style.”
