Simpson to Sue NASCAR: ESPN.com has learned that Simpson is fingering NASCAR for wrongly accusing his safety company of playing any part in Earnhardt’s demise on the final lap of the Daytona 500. Bill Simpson wants his name absolved in the death of his friend Dale Earnhardt. Attorneys James H. Voyles and Robert W. Horn will file a suit Tuesday morning in an Indianapolis superior court. Simpson has confirmed he is filing a multimillion dollar lawsuit, charging NASCAR with defamation of character, false invasion of privacy, defamation by implication and reckless disregard for the truth. "NASCAR brought me to my knees like nobody else ever has and, for eight months, I felt impudent because these charges just kept coming and there was nothing I could do," said Simpson, who received several death threats and eventually moved out of his former home in Charlotte, NC. Everyone who has ever dealt with NASCAR has acquiesced to them and nobody will stand up to them. But they picked on the wrong guy this time. I'm not going away quietly and they deserve to pay for what they did to me and my company's reputation. This isn't about money. This is about integrity and the truth." NASCAR spokesman Mike Zizzo said his organization would not comment.

Looks like a false report.  I for one am glad this is not true, as it could only drag both parties down IMO.

Yeah, your right Jp (and General)  All that my article states is that Simpson Performance Products (the company) is not going to take part in this lawsuit.  However, Bill Simpson himself is sueing Nascar.  So basically what this looks like to me is a grudge match between Bill Simpson and Nascar, which isn't going to help anyone out....
