Does anyone have, or know if Robert Ballou's post race podium interview is available for viewing anywhere on the internet? I'd like to see and hear it again.

I think the Madman gained some fans as a result of his comments!

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.

Or he could have lost some fans over his comments. My group of 12 enjoyed the races and had no issues with the track conditions considering the heat and amount of cars racing.

I really doubt that Robert lost a number of fans that could remotely be described as significant, and I also doubt he cares in the least. I loved the part about how Stewart must have taken the cushion with him to Marco Andretti's wedding! LOL!

I got mad at Robert a couple years ago, He came to the home track three times and podiumed three times, The track was pretty good all three nights and he complained about it three times right next to the promoter who was handing him his trophy. Sometimes it's a little much, as if it's someone else's fault you didn't win, when everyone else is on the same track.

However Saturday I agreed with him. and I seen others who didn't like what he was saying. I think Robert is a hell of a driver and in the last few years has mastered the slicks as well as the heavy. He's always said hi if I walked the pits and seen him. IDK. It is what it is.

That however isn't what I want to know, They cut the mic on TMez in his heat win. He said something about the track having absolutely no grip and we'll see what they do when they work it and then the sound on the video quit but he was still there talking in his car to the camera.
