Hope you make a speedy recovery Robert, that was a pretty crazy way to take the checkers. You had them covered and just one of those wrong place wrong time racing deals,very unfortunate. Congratulations on a well deserved win.

Get well soon, Robert. This racing scene will definitely miss not having you out there on the track. This win and the Josh Burton are the 2 best runs through lapped traffic I've seen this year. It's a shame that this one had to end the way that it did.

FYI to those that don’t have FB. Robert required a second surgery today, and according to the post will likely require a third surgery Friday. Sorry, no reason given.

PETERSEN MEDIA: Going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in a mere blink of an eye, Robert Ballou is now on the mend with a broken arm following a hard crash seconds after winning the Bob Darland Memorial on Sunday at Kokomo Speedway.



“I want to thank everyone who has reached out and checked on me the last few days,” Robert Ballou said. “It is disappointing to get hurt right when things really pick up out here, but I am thankful the injuries aren’t more serious. We will be out a while, but we will be back.”



The Rocklin, CA native put together a strong weekend that saw him finish second on Friday night at Gas City I 69 Speedway, before flexing his muscle on Sunday in Kokomo, IN and picking up the Bob Darland Memorial win.



As he took the checkered flag, circumstances would arise with a car getting out of shape in front of him, and with nowhere to go, Ballou tried to take evasive action but couldn’t avoid what was hard contact with the slowing car.



Getting upside down following the hard hit, Ballou ended up with a fractured arm that has led to multiple surgeries, forcing him to the sidelines for an extended period of time.



“Hopefully I can heel up quick and get back to doing what I love in not time at all, but I want to make sure I am good to go before getting back behind the wheel,” Ballou added. “Again, just want to thank my fellow drivers, fans, and everyone that has reached out and checked in on me.”

Robert's timing couldn't have been worse. The way he was running, I think he would have been a contender for $20,000 at Knoxville. Here's to a full quick recovery for Robert. If my memory is right, the last time he had some sheet time he came back with a win at Eldora. Maybe it will work that way again.
