Don't need mirrors when he is right beside you. Let's not make excuses here big boy

[@HillaryClintonWinning]

Daison did the exact same thing to him two laps prior

[@87dsz]

@HillaryClintonWinning 🤣 you're wrong

[@Papi-yu9kl]

[@happywrenching33]

Ballou blew on that move.

[@racinggrayson-kw6fj]

Bet u never drove a sprit car

[@tylerrogers3263]

Look at the two contacts, Daison made contact coming out of the turn, Ballou was completely crossed up and shot down the tract that wasn't Daisons fault, also less speed less contact. Ballou made contact going into the turn carrying a lot more speed and a lot more contact, he was pissed that he got passed and drove straight through Daison.

[@andrewsebree4333]

Thats just hard racing. Both guys battling for the same spot on the track. Same thing happened between Becker and Bloomfield in the NARC race last night.

[@joepatriot6431]

Talks about others talking smack while he does the exact same thing.

[@oakesweld]

Big ass cry baby

[@Excel144]

WOW Ballou was out of line on that!! BAD MOVE!

[@Adam_G__]

Congrats to Robert on the solid 15th place finish at the end of the night!

[@sprint2648]

Ballou’s days coming!

[@timmyt1981Jr]

He fed Robert a right rear 2 laps prior, don’t dish out what you can’t take!

[@nickmanning3307]

ballou came down after hitting the cushion. he drove straight down off the cushion, hes lucky that thats all that happened there.

[@scooter0958]

I like both these drivers and it could have quite easy been the other way if Presleys right rear connected the lap before so what goes around comes around!

[@dlbracer56]

Look at Ballou's left side nerf bar. It didn't get that way by itself, Pursley fed him a right rear to pass a few laps earlier. Outside pass at Lincoln Park is TOUGH to do. I HAVE raced there..

[@karaburch7611]

That damage on the nerf bar happened coming out of 4. Ballou got squirly after hitting the cushion. It wasn't Pursleys fault it was just racing. Ballou is my favorite driver, but he shouldn't have given him the right rear like that.

[@tb4769]

​@@karaburch7611 exactly. Pursley left plenty of room above him on exit Ballou clearly came down. Just racing and didn't require Ballou to respond that way. Ballou has driven that way since all the way back in karts.

[@nickmanning3307]

ballou came down. its amazing the bias people have just cause they like someone theyll look past everything to kiss his ass.

[@rjai4890]

Ballou would lose his fucking mind if someone did that to him 😂😂😂

[@oakesweld]

i would never buy a sponsors product on his want-2-b sprint car . in closing FUCK Ballou and the horse he rode in on!!!!!

[@cliff4695]

It's not real hard to race without contact. Sometimes it happens, but intentionally doing it in open wheel is dirty, just dirty

[@rodlong1802]

Bobby is such a cornball. Slides into Daison and then whines about everyone else lol 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dirtworxphotography245]

Clearly pursely gave him a tire first. So how does this make it ballous fault.

[@tylerrogers3263]

There's a big difference, Daison barely made contact coming out of the turn, Ballou made contact going into the turn carrying a lot more speed, major difference there!

[@dirtworxphotography245]

@@tylerrogers3263 haha you have heard what goes around comes around right. He cant control when someone is going to return the favor so it's best to not put yourself in that position. Luckily it was only a heat race mid season and not last lap for the championship.

[@tylerrogers3263]

There’s a difference between racing contact and driving through someone. If you know anything about racing you know there’s a difference between driving out of a turn and driving into one. Ballou knew damn well he was going to drive straight into Daison, the first incident was just racing daison sliding up and Ballou coming down it happens a lot, no harm no foul but driving into a turn you know if you’re going slide them or not, and you can’t make a slide when you’re wheel to wheel like that, especially in a heat race, they were both in position to transfer, no sense!

[@dirtworxphotography245]

@@tylerrogers3263 again anything on track is a Racing Incident. He should not have put himself in a position to make an enemy. Because this stuff happens. I'm a winged sprint car guy and am non biased about these 2 drivers. Jus how I see it. Not saying anything bad about anyone.

[@dirtworxphotography245]

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty lol. In the court of law they would say both are racing incidents and no one is at fault. You can not prove that ballou took him out intentionally therfore he's not guilty

[@Infamous918]

Pursley got a taste of FAFO.

[@racinggrayson-kw6fj]

Where's sprint week

[@bholtmeier]

Ballou knew what he was doing, probably just meant to kinda brush tires and let Daison knew he wasn't ok with previous driving. Daison kind of turned down mid corner to defend himself, but this was the ultimate result.

[@Hazmatt3446]

Both being petty. Pursley was high on the track and then dove low into three when he heard Ballou on his left to “slam the door”. That being said, Ballou has a brake pedal. THIS WHOLE “SLAMMING THE DOOR” NONSENSE NEEDS TO BE BLACK FLAGGED. It’s over aggressive and needs to be treated as such. Hold your damn line. If you want to win, be faster.

[@ezduzit4009]

Glad there are some people out there who see through the BS. It was on both of them. Pursley pinched him and Ballou knew he had to win. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

[@ryan883]

The ones bashing Ballou obviously didn't watch the entire video. Parsley fed a RR first.

[@nickmanning3307]

you clearly didnt see ballou drive straight across the track then. he hit the cushion and came straight down the hill.

[@unclened6394]

Usually a big Ballou fan but think he’s in the wrong here imo. Pursley held his line and Ballou got crossed up in the first incident. Then Ballou just fed him a RR. Come on Bobby

[@Dream25_]

The first contact Ballou about spun out and parked the car and turned down the track, wouldn't have been contact if that wasn't the case, but I guess the way he saw it there needed to be a payback or whatever that was. I believe they call that a Chicken shit move.

[@racinggrayson-kw6fj]

Ballou drives his own stuff, i was there, pursley ran into him 3 different times in One lap...pay backs a bitch sometomes

[@stevecunningham2759]

Everyone likes the slider fest until they don’t. Rather than cleanly play the slider game he started, he cut down mid-corner to block the Ballou slide that he knew was coming.

[@billycook-rm3xu]

He is a joke.Go Daison

[@rogerb6950]

Ballou is a total 🤡

[@HillaryClintonWinning]

Pursely did the same thing two laps before

[@jimhildebrand5846]

He said he said

[@NotSteveCook]

Typical Californian.

[@grantfaustich4181]

Another driver that isn't as good as the new competition and has to race with emotion instead of skill. A desperate man makes desperate decisions. He'll get his back, and then he will cry about it.

[@AndrewBlacker-t1d]

Eh. Talk is cheap. Shuddup and go race.

[@official_savage9027]

Balou has always been a loser.

[@busher69]

For years I've tried to appreciate Ballou for his racing, unfortunately I've never gotten there and this is another in a long line of reasons why. Some guys you can race and Ballou isn't one of them.

[@Infamous918]

That was alot of blathering.

[@mariebeasley1269]

Just lost a whole lot of respect for Ballou. Hopefully they both looked at this replay and move on. But Pursley handled his interview with more class

[@nickmanning3307]

@@mariebeasley1269 ballou drives straight across the track then gets mad when someone got into him. i think the majority would be happy if he ran out of money here soon
