Looks like Bland drove up from the bottom of the track at the exit of turn four and intentionally blocked Ballou at the entrance of turn one. Ballou didn't act out of hand, he simply let Bland know how he felt. Bland tried pulling the same move a couple weeks ago at Putnamville and took out Russ Harper, who had moved up to 6th place from last, in the process. There has been a lot of dirty racing around here this year. Sometimes it's hard to act like any adult, when you aren't being raced like an adult.

jeffery didn't try to take out ballou. They never touched wheels. It was just good hard racing. But what ballou did to the spark plug wire was un-called for. If ballou had a problem with jeffery he should have taken it up with him in the pits.

Wow, let me get this straight. Someone "Claims" they saw Robert pull off Jeff's spark plug wire and suddenly it's the gospel. You'd think if that many people saw him do it someone would have said something at the time. If any of you knew Robert as well as you think you do and are judging him by what you heard, you would know he wouldn't just pull off a wire if he was mad, he'd pull the whole engine off. Leads me to believe he went over to give Jeff a piece of his mind (which by the way happens every week by lots of drivers hello is anybody home) dropped something and bent down to pick it up. I didn't hear Jeff say he pulled it off. Why does everything always have to be a drama? Jeff & Robert are both great kids, great racers and great competitors who are passionate about what they do. If Robert loses any fans based on the heresay of one person, I wouldn't be concerned, they weren't much of a fan anyway. I don't think Robert needs to resort to pulling plug wires at this point in his career. I know it is unheard of for a driver to voice his dismay over a racing deal, but come on, this is the guy that makes the price of admission worth the money. Some of these fans should take their own advice and grow up. Congrats to Jeff on his win couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

My, my bmemmer for someone who doesn't like hot heads, I think you should look in the mirror. Takes one to call one I guess. And no, I wasn't there but I do know how to read and the point WAS the plug wire, not a racer showing emotion or I guess acting like you.
