Hey, We common peons would like to know just exactly what went on with ballast weight in Macon Illinois this past Friday June 29th 2024.

I know you post about "drivers who won on Illinois Dirt when the relative humidity was above 86" but ZERO comment on this possible rules infraction made by Robert Ballou.

Were rules broken?
Was any penalty assessed?

Thanks in advance.

Wrong person to call out. He's the stats and press guy, not the decision guy. Does a ton of promotion too.

There's one person that enforces the rules "OR NOT" and I have no doubt that all of them love this sport. But rules are rules.

Richie could only report if there was something official to release from USAC.

As I seen someone in the sport this morning. It was cheatng in plain sight. If Joe local cracked the top three with weights illegally placed,you know damn well he'd of been DQ'd

Yeah, I know it isnt his job but I bet he knows a hell of a lot more than anyone else posting on here.

This isn't being called out Bucky. You ain't the hall monitor and I know what I am doing.

If you are going to call a guy out, at least spell his name correctly. And at least call out the correct person. PS: You can edit and correct a spelling error. 🤔

If you want an answer, go through the proper channels. Coming onto the forum and trying to put Richie on the spot is just BS, IMO. He hops onto the forum to answer people's questions from time to time, on matters that are in his field. That's a good thing.
