Tim Olson and Myself would like to inform all of you that effective today, the ASA Midwest Sportsman Tour has been put on hold indefinitely. After numerous efforts to make a few drastic changes and updates to the current business plan, rules, and scheduling, we feel that it is justifiably impossible to keep the series operating under the current plan. Over the last few months we have worked very hard to do everything we could to keep the series strong and to work on a schedule that could provide teams with less travel, lower costs, and the ability to continue supporting their local tracks.

We presented a purse to the tracks that was much lower and affordable for them to have a successful event and limited travel requirements. It would be vital that all of the tracks we approach, buy in to the program in order to have a successful year in 2012. A few of the tracks did not show interest in participating and that left only a couple additional tracks to participate. The main concern between the tracks was a variety of things.
