It looks like they delivered the Trackbite for oval racing instead of the one for drag racing, although nobody from NHRA will come out and say it. I never read the press release on the NHRA site because I figured it said the same thing that was on DRC, but it says:
"According to officials, the manufacturer of the traction compound had supplied a pallet of products that contained a compound that was not suitable for drag racing purposes."
Contrary to what has been posted here PJ1 (VHT) sells three types of Trackbite, one for consumers and two for comercial use in 55 gallon drums:

I couldn't find the website that Bob Mulry was talking about. All I found was this site:
http://pj1.com and the only link to VHT is:

Mike Rice has also made a post at DRR on the subject:

It's a very unfortunate deal, but it is what it is.
