John..Were U at Wilmount? I am not here to bash any one, and I am not a driver. But from my years of being involved with racing, this is my openion of the accident and I saw it from the start to the end. Hunter was running the cushion and had been doing so from the start of the race. Bollue had already given him one slide job and it was a good one with no contact. Hunter got back around Balloue and was ahead again entering one the next lap. At this point Balloue knew Hunter committed to the cushion because he was following him and it is his responsibility to give him racing room on the top. That never happen and he slid into him and from that it caused Hunters car to flip. A driver only has a split second to make a decision as to where wants to go and I think it was just the wrong move at that moment which ended with the contact of Hunters car. Nothing to do with Hunters car being tight. That is the way I say it and that is my openion. Did Robert deserve to be put on probation. That is not our call as fans and almost everyone has an openion. Every driver in that position will have to work it out with the sactioning body....Phil Poor
