First Duquoin night race, a real easy top 10. For an awe inspiring run, Ballou last Sunday. As for owners, what I've been told is that they don't want anything to do with USAC. Seems like they've been stabbed so many times in the back, they don't want to get stabbed again. I wish someone would take over the series and give that boat a rudder.
This is Ballou on the rim.Impressive to watch someone string that many laps against the fence and not screw up.
