ASA naming dispute
On October 4, 2007, the remanents of the American Speed Association was sold to Huth. Huth is looking at reviving the old National Tour.
On Dec. 4th, 2007, Dennis Huth filed a lawsuit against the ASA Late Model Series seeking to invalidate and cancel the ASA Late Model Series trademark registration. The ASA Late Model Series responsed that the lawsuit is frivolous and without merit and plan counter sue Mr. Huth for damages caused by suit.
On January 14, 2009, the naming dispute was settled. In the end, both parties were allowed to keep the "ASA" name, but the ASA Late Model Series was forced to come up with a new logo, and both parties agreed to inform the racing public that the ASA Late Model Series is not related to, affiliated with, nor sponsored or endorsed by American Speed Association or ASA Racing.
