DSC article states.
Quote:
DSC understands that IMSA, or representatives thereof, have issued legal filings pertaining to the appointment of ex IMSA employee Julie Bentley as WC Vision’s new Director of Partnership Relations in November 2014.
More recently a similar level of legal correspondence has been instigated by World Vision pertaining to ex World Challenge Competition and Race Director Geoff Carter, directed towards IMSA after their hiring last month of Carter as the new Series Manager of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship.

Clearly, (and predictably) NASCAR/IMSA, fired the first shot.
"More recently," World Challenge Vision responded with its own suit.

I think that this thirst for power, is what has driven pretty much all of NASCARs involvement in sports car racing over the years.
Perhaps, since the SCCA sanctions the World Challenge Vision events, they should respond to these actions by pulling corner worker support of the IMSA events.
