Not sure if it will actually bring in any additional Nitro cars into the fold, just seems the same teams getting shuffled around. But I have to think the publicity of a big name NASCAR racer building a drag car team will have to be a plus for NHRA, even though it will do nothing for the Sportsman racers. Funny how NHRA chopped the number of races that Pro Stock was contested at, allegedly due to weak car counts in Pro Stock, Yet this year at least, Pro Stock has regularly had the highest car counts in the Pro classes. Many of the Nitro fields had under 16 car fields, while PS usually had cars that did not make the field.
