I don't understand how this cannot be a good thing. If anyone or group is going to invest the money for a racing series they are going to want to see it grow. The only way it will grow is with more fans. Sponsors come when the fan base is there.


Remember, the top fuel points leader does not even have a sponsor!!! Hot Rod is selling his personal assets just to keep racing. How many major sponsors have pulled out in the last 2 years? This series needs the money. They need the sponsors. For cryin' out loud, Evan Knoll can't sponsor everybody.

The current TV package sucks. They bump the race if womans bowling runs long.... This weekend is the first of the season to be on at a decent time. (Thank god for TIVO).

I say let's see where this can go. How about 4 cars going down the track each run? How about 40 cars trying to get 32 spots?

Perhaps they should just keep going down the road they are going and wait for Don Shumacher to own everything.
