well i just wanted to see him race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't go to many races anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Hey... I want to see BP out there just as much as you do. The sprint week thing can break you in a hurry. Tires. Guys driving over there heads.. How many Cars have been upside down in the last three nights???

I'm sure if someone would put up the money and a car that was capable of winning, BP would run Indiana speed week. It's too bad this hasn't happened, because this guy can flat ass drive the wheel's off a car. Maybe next year Billy!

Don't run all the shows. If your a track champion and you think you "own the track", then run those tracks. He would have run Gas City and Kokomo if it wasn't Sprint Week. He's a sprintcar driver get in the car and drive.

And this thread show what's wrong with forums like this....

Billy has been accused of cherry-picking, cheating, and avoiding the USAC boys at the tracks where he's won championships, when he's got on here and explained that it's budget constraints that are keeping him off track. If someone would step up with some bucks and sponsor Billy, I'm sure that he'd love to racing Speedweek. Sad that some feel that Billy's decisions are flawed....

I guess some folks' opinions are just a little colored. Not that my opinion matters much here, but just ignore those points of view, Billy. You can't please everyone......

Superduke, a legend in his own mind

Duke, come'on you must be really bored.

I agree.. Not choosing wisely where to race would be the dumbest thing to do for a family owned and operated team. "Cherry Picking" I don't believe in that term. Not when it comes to paying for the expenses outta pocket. In todays world you go where you can justify unloading and lets be real for what it cost to run with USAC and the way their format is and the cost just to sign in, it just isn't a smart decision for weekend warrior like Billy,who in my opinion can get the job done without question on any given night. It seems the "CHERRY PICKING" term is always thrown around by people that have no idea about the cost involved. I don't blame anyone for going to a place like VCS while USAC is running at Gas City. Why not? Chin up Billy you maybe one of only a few smart ones....

From looking through old USAC Yearbooks, you apparently didn't "show up" to many back in the day, either :2:
