I apologized to JG on Twitter for saying he's hit everything but the flag pole. And he's right, Everyone out there is regular people putting on a show and that's exactly what it was. A BATTLE ROYAL between four or five of the best of the best until people started getting crashed. Followed by a upset by Cottle (Not a shocker as I've seen him do it many times there and Kokomo)
Had a driver tell me just last week at atomic after he scored a couple big wins the last year he was driving. "The biggest mistakes I would make is thinking I could muscle a ill handling race car for more than I could get with it. Bit me in the ass every time",
It's clear to me Ballou didn't have enough stagger or something, He was pushing all race. I doubt either was intentional, But he was trying hard to maintain position with a car that under throttle just wanted to drift and not turn..
Congrats to Cottle on the win. Not seen that enough in this thread.
