Just saying.

What's keeping him from being out there I thought they were fighting for the freedom of all drivers from oppression?

He's busy developing a combination mullet hat/oven mitt to sell at a 400% mark up price out of his air conditioned trailer. Life is tough for these guys living so impoverished having to make ends meet on 6 figures a year. Damned Outlaws anyhow........

You should remember it. You said it.

I wonder if any of the drivers read these threads/replies about them? Probably not, and I wouldn't blame them.

The know-it-all sprint car experts on here sure do love to dish out their advice. Alwayus good for a laugh! I'm sure Balog appreciates your advice and analysis PeteP.

He's probably interviewing Ricky Warner as we speak.  Can you imagine if Balog had Ricky as his crew chief the last 15 years?  Balog would have won 11 Nationals.   ;)

That's pretty funny. I bet a die cast model of him on his four wheeler would sell like hotcakes. The dude knows how to market.

Make Mullets Great Again.

Was there ever a time when mullets weren't great???

OK, who are the Balog sponsors you know? What is the name of your company you offerred to sponsor him with?

We'll wait....

Also, since you feel drivers would be wise to listen to advice from any Joe Blow out there, here's mine: Donny Schatz - you need to be more aggressive at times. You need to time better. Your car needs to be all white with unicorns on it. You need to draw better when you're in the dash draw. You need to stay after the races in the pits until the sun starts coming up in case a fan wants to interact with you - and offer you their advice. You're welcome Donny!

Hmmmm interesting question Willie. The mullet was popular mid eighties through early to mid nineties. Swayse set the standard with his classic Roadhouse version then a little later Jean Claude Van Damme ruined it for everyone that was unattainable for most. The great Rico revival was a little too aggressive more Joe Dirt than Dalton.

You're wrong. Just listening to anyone and everyone because they might have some money is absolutely stupid. Some people who have money don't know their ass from a tin cup. What makes you think Balog would want you questioning his talent, intelligence, equipment  etc. after a solid 4th place run against the best in the business? Most people would rather you just keep your money as opposed to having a pain in the ass pseudo intellectual douche wagon like you around. There's no shortage of people like you in the sport and guys like Balog who have been around for awhile usually learn to spot them from a mile away. So I'm sure he's just fine living his dream without having you around to shit on everything he does.

I gotta be honest. I probably wouldn't reply to your emails either.

What fiXXXer said

Peter comes on here runs his keyboard and doesn't know shit from apple butter....  

The older I get the faster I was.
All of my hard lessons have been learned at the speed of

You WoO fanboys crack me up. You act like the outlaws are packed with heavy hitters top to bottom, who are all vying for the championship. I'm not gonna engage in the driver bashing that you all seem to enjoy so much with Corey Eliason, but there are a few also-fans on the outlaw tour in case you haven't noticed. I think Eliason and PPM are pretty solid, maybe not going to challenge for the championship, but they're all competitors, and may snag a win or two here or there. You might also want to mention some of the other drivers in high limit, like Rico, Sweet, Brent Marks, Tyler Courtney, Zeb Wise, Jacob Allen, McFadden.... those seem to stack up pretty well with the WoO roster? Seems like both have a quality field.

To be fair, it should be pointed out that the talk about Eliason is an ongoing dig at B Strawser26, the attention bore, and his insistence that Eliason racing in High Limit is equal to Schatz racing in the World of Outlaws.

I've seen Eliason race a couple times at Husets. He has what it takes to be a good sprint car driver in that he's entertaining to watch. That's what we're seeking in our love for this sport- entertainment.

As far as the H-L verses WoO thing, I think it's overblown. The two are so alike that they are simply 2 sides of the same coin. Both will be fine. There are enough cars to go around, and both should have a good year. 

Lighten up Mike!   And see Murphy's comment about this.   I happen to have a good amount of admiration for a driver who gets out there in between cancer treatments.   

I've also learned in the real world, money doesn't necessarily buy you success nor does it automatically mean that someone is going to include you just because you go waving some around in their face and tell them how much smarter you are than them. In fact a lot of times, that'll put people off. Especially when it's not necessarily needed. Balog has had a great career without you or your money. So he's doing just fine. He doesn't need you or your self righteous bullshit

I don't see many people "crap on" Balog and the IRA. I think most people understand that they're weekend racers, and most if not all have FT jobs. Don't fall into the trap of dogging other drivers b/c someone on here said something negative about your favorite driver. 

Don't take the loud minority for the thoughts of the majority. 

I'm glad he's had the opportunity to show case his talents on a larger stage. 

Keep It Real

Try to keep up...
