WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Mike Bliss claims he is owed $74,205 in salary and purse money from Fitz Motorsports, according to documents filed July 29 in North Carolina Superior Court.

Bliss left Fitz Motorsports for Phoenix Racing while fifth in points just six races into the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series season.
 
In his court suit, Bliss says he had an oral contract to be paid $8,500 plus 40 percent of purse money won. He says he was paid the base fee for three of the first six races and partial purse money for three of the six for a total of $55,499.
 
After the sixth race of the season at Nashville Superspeedway, Bliss left the team to drive for Phoenix Racing.
