"I am not going to allow the arrogance of people like this to remove choice for the motorsports enthusiast of the United States," Kalkhoven concluded. "I will fight it every inch of the way because I think taking something that was essentially good and putting it into a monopolistic situation that removes choice for the motorsports enthusiast is a dangerous precedent."
