Ballou is a very talented driver and puts on one heck of a show on the track. I’m not a fan of his but respect his competitiveness. He hates to lose, that’s clear.

However, as Mr Funk said, this isn’t his first rodeo with pushing the boundaries. I think he was out of line by accusing a track of trying to kill someone. Those types of comments are harmful to the sport, tracks and sanctioning bodies for which he gladly accepts winnings from.

Seems whenever he doesn’t finish first he blames the track prep (even though other cars raced on the same track and finished better than him), blames the car, blames other drivers, etc. No accountability. Yet he gladly pockets whatever winnings he earns for his finish.

I couldn’t repeatedly bash my employer and not expect some sort of consequence.

Everyone has their opinions but at the end of the day, this is between USAC & Ballou and no one else.

Now let’s enjoy what’s left of this racing season!
