Seems as though Ballou was suspended from USAC in 2018 and on probation for 2019 FOR TWEETING about track conditions at Eldora, because it was CONDUCT DETRIMENTAL TO THE SPORT. Keep in mind that Ballou is an owner/ driver of his own equipment, therefore HE is the one paying the bills on his team. Ballou is to USAC as Hank Williams is to the Opry. They both have their boys club and Robert isn't welcome in it. He is crass and speaks his mind, which offends some people. No, he's not some polished twenty something kid looking to advance his career, he's doing what he loves. But for USAC to stand by and let a driver attack/assail any
driver that is buckled in his car under a red flag is the last straw.
Thank you for pointing out the Actions detrimental to the sport part. I like to add this every time something comes up. It’s clear there is a club for certain guys within and some are not welcome. I love non wing racing but have little to no respect for the group running it.
