Kokomo?
 

I understand there was a little controversy? Can someone enlighten me?

Re: Kokomo?
 

I have no idea, I have been looking here all night and not a up date at all.

Heard Levi was involved...but I wasn't there so can't confirm.

I heard that too from two sources that were at Kokomo but thought it was very strange that there was no update thread (just got home).

From the most reliable source I know...Levi shoved Stanbrough into the wall. Stanbrough flipped onto the track and hit Ballou on the front of the cage. Jon went over and gave Levi a talking to while the cops seperated Levi from some screaming, unhappy fans. Thank God Ballou is okay. When will karma catch up to Levi...he has no regard for other drivers. Everyone causes accidents, but he drives with no respect. Makes me appreciate DD even more. Can Ballou replace his new car? Will Jon be strong after this wreck? Levi has endless money and knows it...that's a dangerous combo for a driver who could apparently care less if people get hurt. I know USAC won't do anything, which is a shame. Ballou would get probation or suspension for causing that...Levi will probably get a not so stern slap on the wrist. 5-time champ or not...Levi, you have no respect whatsoever from this fan...I've seen it too many times...you're a disgrace.Posted via Mobile Device

Guess Levi has no respect for equipment, be it his or others???

Anyone hear any updates on how Robert is? It's ashame when a driver that drives for a team that can buy and sell 3/4s of the other teams they race against has to stuff you to pass you. Like it was said in an earlier post, is USAC going to put Levi on "probation" now?

Praying for ballou. Levi will race again and won't have to worry about equipment. The rich get richer...does that apply here?

They transported Robert, but he did walk to the ambulance. I doubt if they know anything yet.

Just left the hospital robert is fine and has been released. Im sure he will be sore tomorrow

Sad to think that a multi time champion would stoop to the level of taking someone out in such a fashion that could have career ending results. Lost any respect I had for Levi tonight. Unfortunate that he handled himself in such a way. If Robert Ballou can be put on probation for a "bad slider", Jones should not only be on probation but suspended for a few races to think about it. I feel bad for Robert for not only getting hurt but probably lost a car and engine out of the deal as well. USAC better get a handle on this one.

Thanks for letting all us know that Robert is ok

How about the fact that Levi said he ran him into the wall because Jon ran him high the lap before?? He admitted to crashing him. USAC needs to do something. Quit worrying about jack slash and who's taking video, and prove us wrong show us you got a set of balls and park him, take points away do something.

Good source in the pits said Levi admitted to purposely putting Jon in the wall cause Jon did a slide job a lap before

To me the crazy part is this all starts w/ a guy who had to use a provisional to even be in the show! I'm not going to act like I know Levi because I don't, but its sad when an audience can call it before it happens.

Thanks!

Re: Kokomo?
 

robert and the 20 car took provisionals. Biggest chicken s#@t move I have ever seen.( the 20 car). basically destroyed two cars and I'm not sure about the 22 car. Robert hauled off to Hosp and could have easily been two more. Bet USAC doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to do anything about it!!!!!

They should score him in 24th for tonight's feature, is really what they should do. That way Stanbrough would go back up 1,591 to 1,583, instead of losing the point lead and being down 1,615 to 1,589 like it is now, after Levi just about killed someone to take the lead.

Re: Kokomo?
 

Thats about the only way Levi can pass someone anymore...by taking them out. He's driven like a ass for years now. Nothing new here. ZERO respect for the guy.

Racing is a dangerous sport without things like that happening. Let alone when someone intensionally puts someone in the wall as payback. When racers are on the track that is not the place to take out your anger at someone. Jon Stanbrough is one of te nicest and most talented sprint car drivers I know and to see him stuffed in the wall as hard as he was scared many fans and fellow drivers as well. Just because Levi is a big icon to USAC and the Tony stewart team I can honestly say it's sad to think he will get no penalty for his actions. If this is not takin care of in the way it should be USAC will lose a lot of respect from a lot of people. Needless to say levi already lost what little he had already. I'm glad that all the drivers involved were ok and walked away! Now let's all cheer Stanbrough to knock levi off his high horse and take over the championship!!

Dave Darland is only 43 points back now, and Clauson who has missed like 3 races, only 132. With 14 races left, levi has more than stanbrough to worry about. I'd love to see stanbrough win a championship, but I wouldn't be surprised to see these two start going at it and Darland or Clauson sneak by. Darland and Clauson have definitely been the strongest two in the last couple months.

Re: Kokomo?
 

Dave is only 38 points behind...He was 99 points behind before Kokomo and made up 61 points in the 3 nights...pretty impressive!!

Am I the only one who recalls what Levi did to Robert UNDER YELLOW AFTER THE CHECKERED FLAG at Lawrenceburg last month??? I did hear that there was a fine. . . . .

Re: Kokomo?
 

Do the right thing USAC take his points away from last nights race. I know i'm dreaming. USAC doesnt have the balls to do that.

Re: Kokomo?
 

Is there a video of all this "activity" last night?

Lots of opinions, interest, be nice to see what happened?

Yeah he had to pay for the stuff he tore up. (that's what I heard) I hope they do the same here 3 cars and 2 motors that's at least 100k how bad would that hurt his wallet?

Who needs to see it when he already said he did it??

Not only did he do this in the feature but who watched him put a wheel in grant during the b-main and take about 3 cars out of contention for the amain then usac let him run with a flat right rear??? I remember when levi came out here and was an awesome driver and was competitive without destroying everyone's equipment but he is out of control and needs to be handled!!!

All he got was a $200 fine for that - was never made to replace anything

A Kokomo sheriff deputy was standing there when it was said - the African American gentleman that was at the pit gate - he heard Levi say he did it on purpose we were all standing there and he made the comment to jones that he ought to shut his mouth. There were multiple multiple crew and teams that overheard him saying it including the security people

There were several sheriff deputies in Stanbroughs pit after the race last night talking with Jon and others. Very interesting....

Were are all the people that get on here and defend levi normally? How many usac races did clauson miss for his indy deal? Woulda been awesome to have stan and clauson beat levi in points!

Levi never admitted he did it intentionally but he did say Jon ran him high the lap before and he did know Jon was there which was admitted to. This wasn't a slide job gone bad, or catching a rut or simply getting in the corner to hot. This wasn't just a "Racin Deal" like so many people like to call it. Levi stuffed Stanbrough in the fence tore up three race cars which sent Ballou to the hospital and took the USAC point lead. This should not go unaddressed by USAC or this could become the norm increasing the risk of injury and the damage of some very expensive equipment.

You are correct, Levi was never ahead of Jon in the race.
