Personally I don't understand some of you guys not liking the word cheating in this aspect.

Rules state black and white, the weight has to be between the axles and below the mid rails.

Both teams have years & years of experience with sprint cars. They're not inexperienced.

So even though I like Bacon and Reinbold/Underwood. They were both cheating. They both intentionally put weight in front of the axle.

Almost starting to seem as if usac’s answer to this is going to be just say nothing and act like it never happened. They’ve had time to cancel and figure out rain dates for 2 races but zero comment on the alleged cheating. Maybe they are sending the weights off to “other facilities for testing”

Now I'm scratching my head at October 6th!

Heck, mid week would draw better.

Not sure SC runs mid week,with the distance teams have to travel weekend probably works better for them,just glad they rescheduled.

Now would be a great time for Jason Smith to put his stamp on his new leadership role and shake things up?? Make a president level decision and do the right thing. Maybe, just maybe, he needs to re-evaluate his race day operations teams and make some changes??

Enquiring minds will watch and wait.

A mid week Silver Crown race would result in a promoter losing thousands of dollars

What controversy?

Surely there'd be more out there if something were actually going on. Already a race scheduled and cancelled and two more this weekend.

Also other podcasters and youtubers out there claiming Ballou retired. A couple hours before he pulled into Kokomo's BC Victory lane.
