Harry has answered the question. It's the show and so they can say they raced at the same race as John Force. Don't worry all out there, JF will fade away with the other old timers and Gen X and Y will finally take over with their Top Sportsman and Top Dragsters.
Most racers could care less who's in the stands unless they are celebrity hogs looking to for attention and to be a show off.
Go to any Sat night bracket race and pull up with your super stocker or stocker and run 9.90 or slower. Next to you is Little Timmy who can only understand that he has 1/2 of what you have in your stocker/ss'er, but he runs 1-2 seconds faster than you with his turbo 10.5 tire with a bondo and rust car. You all say it's about the speed and that is what NHRA is selling. Tell me then who's really playing the game the way it should be played???
