ROBERT BALLOU

Was on the winning side of the most electrifying finish of the 2024 USAC National Sprint season when he erased a half-straightaway deficit on the last lap to win the opening night of #LetsRaceTwo in May at Eldora. His first series win in 18 months proved to be the closest finish of the USAC season – .016 seconds. In June 2024, Ballou also became the third driver to surpass 500 career USAC National Sprint feature starts, joining Dave Darland and Brady Bacon. For the past decade, he’s been a perennial front runner in his own familiar number 12 on the USAC National Sprint Car circuit. He’s the winningest independent in series history with 33 victories as a driver/owner. The 2015 USAC National Sprint Car driver and entrant titlist also owns an Indiana Sprint Week title in 2015 as well as a pair of Eastern Storm titles in both 2015 and 2021.
