10/12/10 – With the IRA season in the books, Bill Balog
& the B Squared Motorsports team headed to the Lawrenceburg Speedway in
Lawrenceburg, IN to race with the Allstar Sprint Series.
This was Bill &
the teams first time at the ultra modern facility & out of the 25 cars
present, he turned the 6th fastest time of the night with a lap time
of 12.092 seconds. He would take to the track in heat race #3 from 5th
position.After falling to the 6th
position at the start, Bill quickly got his rhythm around the high banked oval
& by the time the checkered flag waved on lap 8, he had worked his way up
to the 4th position.
By virtue of his 6th
place time in qualifying, Bill got to pick a chip for his starting position for
the 30 lap main event & ended up picking the #1 chip, which meant he would
take the green flag from position #1. Once the race got under way, Bill fell
back to the 2nd place, & got work on tracking down the leader.
Once the lead pack got in to lapped traffic, Bill began to close in on leader
& would eventually take lead over. He began to open up a sizable lead on
the rest of the field before a caution would bunch everyone back up. With one
lapped car between Bill & 2nd place, Bill jumped out the lead
once again before another caution a few laps later put 2nd place
right on the tail of the17B machine. On the ensuing restart, the 2nd
place car executed a huge slide job in turns 1&2 putting Bill back to 2nd
place. He would continue to run here until another caution flag on lap 17 &
then 3rd place car would get past him on that restart. Bill would
continue to run in the 3rd spot for the remainder of the race to
bring home a career best finish with the Allstar Sprints. But after the officials
deemed that Bill did not follow there post race procedures properly, they
disqualified him & placed him in the 25th position.

Performance 17B team will take the next few weeks off before returning to
