‼️Ballou Update‼️
Robert has decided to step back from today/tonight’s events to take care of himself and rest. After last nights accident he was limping and complaining of some leg pain, assumed he just hit it on something inside the car. As the night went on he was unable to bare a lot of weight on it and this prompted an ER visit. No broken bones thankfully but is still unable to bare weight on that leg and having some overall soreness today. After getting home at 7am and discussing our options we decided it’s best to sit this one out and get some much needed rest & recovery.
This also will allow us to rebuild and regroup for the big events at Huset’s Speedway coming up.
We hate missing the big payout events like this as they are what keep this team up and running but also know it’s what’s best for the driver! On the flip side we do still plan to try to make our way to the track later in the day with merchandise! We will be there to visit with fans and catch some awesome USAC Racing!

Hate to hear this! Doesn't matter if you cheer for him or against him, any race is more exciting when Robert is in it.

Hope he gets better real soon. I felt he was just getting his mojo back after injuries the past few years
