Matt DiBenedetto provides a more transparent update
It’s been a few days since the update above. On Tuesday, DiBenedetto elected to clarify his statements:
“I was treading lightly cause it was all fresh. Just covering all bases and stuff,” DiBenedetto added.
Further update, not that it matters. But, I always like to be truthful with you guys.”
“The reality of it is we had a signed, pretty big, sponsor deal. And, they lied and didn’t follow through on their end.”
“That’s why we had to pull the plug. Unfortunate, but you got to drive and race out the front windshield and not the rear. Got to live life that way.”
“I’m at peace with it all. Everything will work out.”
“It’s been a crazy last month or so. That’s why I have extra wrinkles on my forehead.”
