ya im really acting out of line i was just telling you what was said by jeff bland him self

here ya go a statement off of kiss webpage so im not blowing off steam just facts!

While the track workers cleared his machine, Ballou walked to the front stretch, leaned in to speak with Bland, and then unhooked one of the spark plug wires. Track officials quickly directed Ballou from the track and replaced the plug wire. Ballou was disqualified for his actions.

Hmmmm, So I guess you got caught up in the heat of the moment and reacted, unfortunately Robert did too, See how easy it is? Fortunately, your lively hood wasn't at stake like a lot of these racers, so yes they do react badly, but they don't have the luxury of blowing it off by saying they were out of line, they have to endure, criticism, accusations and a lot of name calling. However, the irony is all of this is followed by them telling him to "grow up". Just sayn"

Jeff did say in the interview after he won, that Robert had stopped to talk to him and then after he was getting ready to leave he reached down and pulled a plug wire. From what I could see on the backstretch it certainly looked like it by the way that Jeff was acting when he was trying to get the attention of the TSS official and then that official sat there for maybe 2-3 minutes doing something in the motor area.

JBH, you said you werent there but many of us were and saw the whole incident happen. It just looks bad for Robert no matter what he says. You just cant put yourself in that position.

There sure seems to be lots of haters on here. Right or wrong Ballou speaks his mind and vents his frustrations, and that's what makes him one of my favorite drivers. I wasn't there and didn't see what happened. I know that in the past Bland has never shyed away from making a questionable move, someone finally called him out on it. The dirty driving has gotten out of hand, Once again not saying this is one of those instances; But the only way it's going to stop is by putting a stop to it. There are a bunch of people who drive way over there heads but get away with it because people are afraid of the consequences. Robert is one guy who stands up when he has an issue and I commend that!

If Robert did that then he is in good company because the"SPRINT CAR HALL OF FAME"is filled with drivers that did the same thing.(some on more occasions then one)

Next week will be filled with some new drama


I think the evening work out good for JEFF
