To all the fans in attendance at THAT
 
First and foremost I would like to apologize to any of you that my language may have offended during Sunday’s feature event. It was not the best choice of language to use in the moment and I regret any young fans that may have overheard it.



I would also like to thank Tom Helfrich, his son Blake, and other crew members for jumping on what equipment was available and giving us a safe track to run on. Had they not done that we would have never gotten the show in. Also, every fan that jumped in a 4 wheel drive contributed a large part to that show and it would have taken us hours had you not offered your time and assistance. You people are what made this show possible.



Those of you that know me know that racing is how I make my living, I am very passionate about it and sometimes that passion gets the best of me. There are things I would have like to have had a clearer answer on but the past is the past and it is time to focus on the next race which for me will be this weekend at Lawrenceburg. I hope you will all come out and continue to support our sport.



Thank you



Robert Ballou

Gas it up at the next one, you're worth the price of admission. All of us can recall some regrets, just learn from it and move on.

Robert,

Thanks for being a stand up guy about this. I bet all of us on this board has had a similar frustrating moment when we have done or said things we regret. Look forward to seeing you gas it up at the Burg Saturday. We wish you would have been there this past saturday to run the top above the cushion. With your driving style, you would have been flying.

I don't think apologies are needed. I wasn't there, but it sounds like there is alot of passion. I think the sport needs more of that. Look at Napcar and what a bore that is. Those guys can't display their emotion at all. Don't get me wrong, I think some decorum is in order in most cases, but I don't like the passion being suppressed.

It takes a real man to admit he has made a mistake and apologize for it...and for that I thank you.

Anyone who was at Kokomo for Sprintweek last year knows this guy is the real "Bulldog," That was the night I became a Robert Ballou fan. Keep standin' on the gas Robert!
