Guy Webb has one focus the rest of the 2014 season and in the future: The All Star Circuit of Champions.

On the surface, it seems Webb isn't concerned about former All Star regular Shane Helms, owner and father of Sprint Car driver Caleb Helms, starting a new Sprint Car series in the Ohio region to rival the All Stars.

It's business as usual.

"There is nothing to be unhappy about," according to Webb, promoter of the All Star Circuit of Champions. "If they want to do something on their own, they can do that.

"I have no bad feelings. I'm sorry they were unhappy, and I wish them luck."

In an interview with PennLive Tuesday, Helms indicated that the reason he wanted to start a new series is because of a "perceived arrogance and disrespect" towards the teams running the ASCoC series.

Helms also pointed to some teams having to wait to receive point fund money and not knowing whether or not they were going to be paid in the future.

According to Webb, the All Stars are current with all teams except 2013 Eastern Region point champion car-owner Mike Heffner. Webb also stated that a plan has been put in place through attorneys to get Heffner paid.

"We owed money and needed to pay it," Webb said. "What bothers me is that people think there was intent. There was no intent.

"Every time I would lay out a plan, something would happen. I'm focused on getting everyone paid. I don't want to be behind. We made the proper arrangements and only Mike Heffner, regrettably, we had an unfortunate situation there."

Tracks in central Pennsylvania will start putting a schedule together for next season between September and November of this year. It doesn't vary much in Ohio.

Webb is comfortable with his five shows in the central Pennsylvania region and Florida. As for Ohio, it could get dicey.

"I don't think [that series] is interested in Florida or central Pennsylvania," Webb said. "Ohio is where we could play a little chess.

"There are no dates available, and the tracks out here need their weekly shows. We get 1,800 to 2,200 fans on a good night, 900 for a weekly show. You better make a track money or you won't be back."

According to Webb, he didn't need a wake-up call. He believes in his product and stands by his track record in the industry.

And he is ready to battle for the life of the All Star Circuit of Champions as a series and a Sprint Car racing brand name.

"I guess they want to replace me," Webb said, "but I have a good relationship with tracks and feel confident that I can schedule 45 races [next year].

"I'm already working hard on that schedule. I have an agreement in Florida and most other places we were at this year. That is where we will be next year."

Continued Webb, "We are going to do the best we can to sell tickets and become valuable again. There are plenty of drivers out there that want to race for good money, and we are going to put our heads down, work hard and move forward."
