I want to be clear, I might have missed it, but haven’t seen any statements from any series on disciplinary action for those activities. I know Duane from AFCS is on here occasionally, maybe he can elaborate. But my point is that to put it all on USAC, like they’re the only ones that may or may not make the right call, is really short sighted. No one is perfect, but USAC still has the best racing!
I hope I only have to remind you, Funk, and everyone else carrying the torch for Usac one more time. They set the precedent for their series and no other by suspending a driver for tweeting. Yes 55 I said tweeting. It’s kinda like putting a school kid in detention for name calling but letting the same kid get away with punching another and say well they don’t do anything about it in the other schools. Usac brought this on themselves. They decided to play the suspension game. Once again this wasn’t WoO, ASCoC, ASCS, Fed Ex, UPS or any other anything. It was USAC. Let’s please stay on course here. At Lawrenceburg Sunday a Usac official was asked hours before the event if Leary was suspended. His response was no. He sighted the Tmez/Axsom deal at Kutztown last year as an example of no suspension. Don’t remember him trying a drop kick to the driver on that tho. So the official was then asked does that mean that anything similar to Friday nite is fair game??? Perplexed the guy really didn’t want to answer. It’s not a conspiracy when a precedent is set and that happened in 2018 when they suspended a guy for playing on his phone.
I’m going to paraphrase here but Funk says the Ballou fans are a cult and care about RB. So sadly mistaken he is. It’s ok tho, I’ve said it before, I feel like big changes are coming next year and this may not be a topic to discuss again.
Sure hope the weather holds tonite for Kokomo. Usually the best race of the week.
