how to response this message:" I do not believe that Buddy has to pay the driver because the driver was in a contract with the owner of the vehicle and not his friend, Buddy. Buddy only promised the driver to pay her $3000, there isn't any indication that it was documented, and after she won refused to pay the promised $3000 claiming the promise is unenforceable. Therefore, Buddy shouldn't have to pay because it can be considered to be a wager as a joke or something like that since they are friends and it was a verbal promise or a gift for winning the race. I also think that this would fall under a preexisting duty because the driver was hired by the owner of the car to race it, although I am not sure if the sole purpose was to win or if it was to just have someone else drive the car for them."
