Recognizing many will say “so what” indeed this is noteworthy and speaks to how NHRA has mismanaged a class that many of us held as being the zenith of drag racing. KB and Elite attempts to field extra teams aside, they can all see the handwriting on the wall. Elite’s entry into Pro Mod and the growth of that class (along with Mountain Motor PS “exhibition”) are just further examples of the coming direction. While the Gray family could care less about sponsorship exposure others have felt the pinch of being unable to get any TV exposure while FOX produces and airs a dedicated Pro Mod show. There’s no doubt that Tanner is a talented racer and if nothing else NASCAR will test his skills and if successful deliver what the big egos desire. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly for guys like Jason Line, my current PS favorite.

Bob, one distinction between Tanner and Danica, the kid at least has some talent.
