Some members of the safety crew are even ones saying Roberts the one that made it smoke the exit. All he had to do is ask them to lift the whole car up.

Touching an official or tow/push truck driver should be an automatic multi race suspension and fine. The guy was barely out of truck and Roberts laying his hands on him.
It was not that far from his pit work area, as I had watched the whole thing from the pit stands. He should have not touched the tow truck driver as he was trying to get out of his truck then back in his face again. Lost a lot of respect for Ballou that night as plenty of young fans got to see his over reaction. Will USAC do anything?
