Was Jeff Bland banned from Bloomington???

So he won't be allowed to race at Bloomington for Sprint Week?

Heard from a reliable source that when they were changing a tire in the pits during the feature, his dad scratched a push truck and that push truck driver punched his dad. After the race, Jeff pretty much knocked the dude out. Can't say that I blame him. Who takes a truck to a track to push sprints off that they are worried about getting scratchdd. Alittle harsh in my opinion.

I am as far from being qualified to give legal advice however I do recall a "story" many years ago about CJ Rayburn being banned from Eldora Speedway during one of Earl's famous rants. As I remember, CJ supposedly had his lawyer draft papers and threatened to stop the races with an injunction if he were not allowed to complete. Maybe it is all folk lore and rumors but if I were Mr. Bland and wanted to compete for the title, I might contact CJ Rayburn and see if there is any validity to the story.

If anyone knows Jeff Sr. KNOWS he would not do anything on purpose. Heard something happened when they were changing Jr's tire. Sr. was not aware and the push truck driver pointed it out with his fist!!!! just what I heard

By "who knows" I believe he was referring to whether it happened on purpose or not. The "scratch" was real.

If so, I would suggest these good folks get thier collective heads together and work out a solution so everyone can go back to racing. I would believe all involved are fair minded people and hopefuly this has already happened. If they need a moderator I nominate Kevin Briscoe.
