However, what an a$$hat move by Ballou, if its true. To pull of another competitors spark plug wire while he is strapped into the car because you made a mistake AFTER he passed you and you roll your car. I WAS a Ballou fan up until that moment. Totally uncalled for. I really hope that they got your flip on tape.
Yes, Bland did thank us face to face while we were on the track taking pictures! Very nice guy and congrats to him!! As for Ballou....well I aslo lost more respect for him! That was just ridiculous of him to do that.
Thanks to everyone that came out!!

He should be given a strong warning, a suspension is a little much. I am sure after he cooled down he is very sorry he walked over the Blands car. I sure he is probably now only mad a himself.
Another great night of racing at TSS. The Sprint feature ended at a good time considering all the red flags. Seems like we cannot leave Haubstadt without there being controversy. I know Ballou was frustrated that he got upside down but you can't act like that especially in front of the audience. As an MSCS official was pulling Robert out of Bland's face I could see him smack at the car. After the race I herd someone say that it was the spark plug wires that he grabbed. Just too bad that he let his emotions get the best of him tonight.
When does Ballou not let his emotions get the best of him? He's always doing stuff like this. The guy is a menace - I don't know of anyone who is comfortable racing with him. Posted via Mobile Device
My hats off to Tom Helfrich. Making sure Jeff's car was in running order after the Ballou ordeal was a class act.
As for Jeff , he got the elbows up and just wheeled . Impressive run.
DC found out the radiator he;s been using was bad. He replaced it right before the feature, no more problems, unless you add in flipping race cars.

But how many times do we allow him to do things like this? Granted, I've not seen him get THIS upset before to actually deliberately sabotage someone else's car, but what's next? Seriously, someone needs to put this kid in his place and send him a very strong message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
