Not exactly the same thing, but Bob Unkefer (my friend, may he rest in peace) went from being on rotation for national events to a "staff realignment" that didn't include him and finally to very limited use. All after he became aligned with Pro Stock Truck owners.


Edit to add that Jenkins talked about how things changed after he and others attended the first PRO race starting with the next NHRA race they entered.
Very interesting Dan, could NHRA have sent a very subtle message to team Elite at the Vegas national when numerous Elite cars were closely checked for wiring ? After All, Elite is the team behind this BIG $$ race in Florida ..
