Well, there wasn't a wall between the two cars in side by side eliminations all day long, either... But, nevertheless, of course it was a publicity stunt for money!!!!! Crowds are down, participants are down. Maybe next year we won't even see a full field of pro cars in the fuel ranks??? Sounds like Smokelss is pulling out as a sponsor at the end of the year... Probably going to have to see some weird things just to keep the money coming in...

The sell out of NHRA and NASCAR was completed years ago... The big corporate sponsors are the ones with the money, and the money determines how the game is played.... Maybe it's not right, but to win you gotta go fast, to go fast you gotta have money, to have money you gotta have sponsors, then the guys with the money run things.... Heck, maybe it all comes down to Team Schumacher vs. Team Force---then a handful of local racers to make the field....??????
