Man you have to feel bad for Ballou! Looked like Windom didn't leave him much room..

Just a racing accident. Ballou was all over the place the previous couple of laps

This seems to explain that...rough night for the Mad Man.

Robert Ballou Motorsports: Lost our breaks just before that - however, crash was not a result of anything we did.......

Looked like Windom was heading for the high side and Ballou was already there. Bad deal! He had a good run going! That car is junk! I feel bad for him and his team.

I never said it wasn't racing at all. I was simply cheering for Ballou after that crazy slide job to take the lead..

That was a hell of a slider for the lead....2 cars, nice & clean.

And you could tell it completely took Bloom and Hines by surprise, too. Was an aggressive and clean slider and they didn't even know what hit 'em. He drove a hell of a race and it's too bad he didn't get to finish. The other was pretty much just a racing deal. Chris just drifted up into Robert's path and clipped him. If he had hit that pit entrance or whatever that was, it could have ben a whole lot worse. Thankfully, he walked away.
