Pittman hauls off and hits Bill Balog at Cedar Lake, Wi after contact in the heat race sent the 9 car flipping down the backstretch. Will the WoO fine him for this? Seems fines were handed out for something similar last year. Just wondering what the process is for incidents like this?

I'd say considering Pittman was on his lid twice in 3 days, he's probably getting a little testy...

you mean as in he physically punched him? Last night Donnie Schatz turned in to David Gravel @ Beaver Dam, & I have no idea why. seemed to me he should have been penalized. 30 or so seconds in. *note, Gravel went on to win this heat.

I was sitting on the backstretch at Beaver Dam and didnt think Gravel did anything wrong (especially for being pre green flag). I feel the video shows the same thing. I didnt see Gravel turn right and go up the track at all. As a matter of fact, if you watch the video, you can see the lettering on 15 car go faster right before contact. Was Schatz trying to send a message of some sort? Maybe something happened in the warm-up catching back up to the pace truck? Wasn't at Cedar Lake, so not sure on the Balog/Pittman thing. But was reading about it on Facebook last night. Anyone have any more info on it?

I saw it with my own eyes, & Gravel was lined up fine, pace was fine. I think Donnie was just being a knob. Kind of a bullshit move IMO. I would have sent him to the tail, if I had semblance of authority over such things! Still curious about what happened at Cedar Lake w Pittman...

What about at the end of the race when Schatz spun out Ian Madsen on the front stretch.

Maybe Pittman thought that Balog was the guy behind the Great Flips Twitter account?

So, you must think it is OK for the WoO guy to take out the "local" guy? So it is Balogs fault?? How was he driving like an idiot all weekend? I heard from my brother who is on here too(think he is strangewings) that Balog drove awesome all weekend...

Hmmm I was at Beaver Dam. Balog qualified good. Got into some trouble in the heat because of people in front of him running into each other. Won the B without any contact and moved up in the A without any contact. Not sure how thats driving like an idiot. Guess if someone finishes 5th, 11th and 6th with the outlaws they must be driving like an idiot... Careful Posse faithful, when you beat up on the Outlaws out in PA and have strong runs out there, its because you are all driving like idiots wink

There has to be more lies told about Schatz's driving than anyone in history. Jealous pricks. A bunch of jealous pricks. I'll take Dave Argabright's comment or was it Doug Auld (Sprint Car and Midget Magazine), when comparing Schatz to other past great drivers "when was the last time you saw Schatz act like an ass, when was the last time you saw Schatz drive dirty". More drivers in both that magazine and Flat Out have stated that Schatz is the cleanest driver in the WoO. I hate jealous pricks. Just like I hated the jealous pricks who hated Jeff Gordon because he took the spotlight away from their hero, who actually was the dirtiest driver in Napscar history.

Running like an idiot? Really? He finishes 5th, 11th and 6th on the three nights......I don't think idiot drivers with low budgets finish like that with the outlaws. Nice idiot comment you had though.

haha right?! what a great week of racing against teams on a fraction of their budget. Its scary to think what he could do if he was on par with the budget and support had by the regulars. As far as the "idiot" comment, I'm guessing this keyboard jockey never even climbed into a sprint car.... or any race car for that matter. If he did, and won 5 straight championships and over 50 wins in that time.... then feel free to call other drivers "idiots". Until then, go get your burger and beer, take your seat in the stands and grow some behind a steering wheel, not a keyboard. lol unreal.

While this may be true, not sure what Donny was pissed at Ian Madsen about at Cedar Lake (unless it was related to him later flipping), but when Donny hit him in second that was in no way Ian's fault (unless Donny expects Ian to barrel into the flipping 55). If Ian was involved in Donny getting upside down later on, then I could see a reason for spinning him after the checkered

Don't be too upset, it sounds like a reincarnation of that loser TROLL, Strangewings. If it isn't him, it's the other IRA troll, oh I forget his name, shows how significant he is....Both of them live in their Mother's basements and spend all their time with their pants around their ankles, typing with one hand.....they probably have their Mom drive them to the races too...
