PER CURIAM:1
In this case we are asked to review the granting of summary judgment and the application of the statute of frauds, W.Va.Code, 55-1-1 [1990], in a contract action. The plaintiff-appellant, Fry Racing Enterprises, Inc. (“Fry”), alleges that it was a party to an oral, three-year contract with the defendant-appellee Donald A. Chapman (“Chapman”). The plaintiff claims that it began to perform according to the terms of the agreement, but that after only three months the defendant terminated the agreement without cause. The plaintiff filed this action for damages under the contract.
