Didn’t Windom and longtime USAC owner Jeffrey Walker get banned a few years ago for a tire issue at Bloomington?
I do think USAC is guilty of leaning toward their full timers in 50/50 situations but i also think that is very common across all motorsports. That said, USAC will certainly go against their own: They banned a recent former champion (Ballou). They called a ISW photo finish at GC for the local (S. Cottle over Leary). Multiple late for push off penalties.
