Usac: Darland to race for ballou in final 5 usac sprint race

Good for USAC their car count is up so high they have a competition committee to determine if another team can pay to run their races...

I'll be rooting for both these guys. I want to see Dave and Robert make a lot of money in these last two weeks of the season. And it's a good deal for both. On one hand, Robert's hiring a 3 time Oval Nationals winner and one of the best ever. And Dave's getting a ride in a car that is a proven USAC A-Main winner. And is owned by a very savvy race car owner, who only shows up to win.

I can only imagine the interview that the car owner Robert will give if they win together. How awesome would that be. Could possibly rank right up there with the infamous Hewitt interview. 😂
I’m glad this is happening. I hope they both make some money together.

USAC stepped on their d**k on this one.I am not a big ballou fan but DD stepping in to drive is cool.this will all wash out now.

Ballou not stupid. Imagine the uproar if USAC would have said the The People's Champ could not pilot this car. Chaos would ensue. As Jerry said above, I hope these two go to Cali on full tilt kill mode!

I agree with you 100%. This is a PR move by USAC. I don’t believe this would have happened with any other driver than DD tho. Very happy for both involved, but let’s not go overboard with lauding USAC. Hoping they make a lot of money.

Omg, this is epic. Bet USAC never saw this one coming! Way to go RB. Just hope if Darland wins or makes podium, he talks about the shock program and lack of big airplane money.

A five race winning streak for DD and Robert would be pretty cool way to close out the season.

As fun as it would be to hear I dont think they are letting Robert anywhere near a microphone

I think in 2019 there making it mandatory that you must first thank USAC and then the track promoter before you can mention your sponsors in victory lane interviews.
