USAC you got this wrong in my opinion. You just did more damage the the sport of sprint car racing than Ballou's comments ever would have done.His loud mouthing off to Tony would have quit stinking like a bad f4rt in a couple days but you have stirred it up for more than it was worth..You have to remember this came a few days after sprint car racing lost a true ambassador to the sprint racing community in Greg Hodnett. So emotions are high and words do sting right now but let it go. Drop the suspension BS and lets move on .Let this serve as a warning to Ballou and the USAC racers for future reprimands. Maybe the drivers and car owners need to come up with a process to air their concerns with powerful track owners that in the future will serve as the GROUP voice and not single out one driver or individual as the trouble maker.
I will not be at the BURG this weekend as I figure if BALLOU is suspended then so am I because I am a Ballou fan. FREE BALLOU. |
I assume the USAC dictatorship does not include a due process procedure where as a participant can appeal a suspension. Oh how silly on my part!

Bash away, but just a thought...
What if this has NOTHING to do with Eldora or Lawrenceburg, but an incident from another track? What if USACs vague response and statement is actually an effort to protect Ballou? What if additional sanctioning bodies choose to suspend Ballou? We should probably sleep on this tonight and see what tomorrow brings.... |

I really think the smarter promoter would put Tony & Ballou 1 on 1 and race it out like racers, but who wants to put butt's in the seats these days? Let's just ban people (insert sarcasm), give people all around a reason to be negative, polarize them, but give them no reason to get to the track because all the chatter and publicity has no substance for the sport.
This whole situation is being handled wrong (IMO) .... It really wouldn't be hard to turn it into a spectacle that would pack the house. Team Smoke vs. Team Ballou... that's a freakin' ticket I would buy. |
Any chance that Ballou races with the All Stars in 2019? 😉
