Not saying Bacon doesn't get into people. The Weir Kokomo thing was clearly such. But it's rare. Sure several on here will point out a half a dozen other instances over the past ten years and three hundred races that he took someone out.

But he hasn't won three championships making it a common occurrence. The 2016 Championship was run with the same car for every race. I think they pulled the backup once just to be certain that night. The Backup had one race in USAC competition.

Anyway. He's done so, By qualifying well and being top five darn near every night. Grant and others are playing ketchup when they start being the eight ball. Added pressure yeah. But you gotta finish to get anything.

I look at KTJ and I don't see him going around blaming, making excuses. Never seen someone so hard on himself when he doesn't win That's a competitor to me.
