QUOTE=Wingman;291533]I am surprised that there is no discussion about
Ballou and Jones incident after the heat. I was at the track but did
not see what happened between those two.

I was glad to see Justin get the win. The "right place at the right
time." It has been great to see this young man develop. Well deserved
win.

Let me state for the record. Taping down of seats continues to be B.S.
It continues to be total crap that tracks have allways and continue to
allow this...I don't care if it is ISW. I pay my admission like
everyone else. If I was a new sprint car fan I don't know if I would
come back. Last night the only seats not taped off were the bottom 10
rows and I got there 45 minutes before hot laps.

Anyway, hats off to Justin. Dave another good show Thank You

I saw the Ballou/Jones deal on the track and the aftermath in the
pits. You want to talk about who made a donkey out of theirselves it's
Mr Jones. After the checkers flew jones turns his car purposefully
into Ballous car - Ballou rolls up alongside him I assume to have
words - Ballou then pulls away then jones AGAIN pulls up to Ballou and
drives over the front end of his car.

Am heading to the pits to help my buddy and Ballou comes through the
pits headed to the USAC trailer when jones begins to scream at the 81
car owner I believe - older guy. Jones is screaming something to the
effect of "how much you want $100 $200 who cares that's nothing" which
didn't make a lot of sense till later.

Then DD/Walker and Ballou I thought was having words but walker is
patting Ballou on the back and shaking hands so it was all good with
them apparently.

Here's where the back story is - apparently DD squeezed a close pass
on Ballou in heat - Ballou made contact with DD rear bumper but got
off the gas right as there was contact - jones had no choice but to
check up also or he would have hit both DD & Ballou. Apparently this
move cost jones the heat transfer which was why after the checkers he
decided to use his car to hit Ballou twice.

Word is USAC will be fining jones $200 for his actions - which is why
jones was screaming who cares $100 $200 that's nothing.

What a crock - you got one guy by the balls for 6 race probation for
something that happened under green flag racing - then you got a guy
who runs over another car after the checkers twice and he gets a fine
that's less than the cost of a right rear? Something smells bad
here.......

Not to mention jones letting everyone know $ ain't no problem for them
what's $200 to TSR? So here's what I got to say - I don't like spoiled
rich race teams acting like they can do whatever because they got deep
pockets. So to any budget driver that gets hosed by jones for the
remainder of sprint week and wants to hit the # 20 with their car
after the checkers I'll pay your $200 fine just send me a PM

Thanks Jimmy
