NHRA Confirms Kurt Busch Entry

IMHO the rule should be changed to allow competitors with a grade of 0 to get into an event that isn't filled a week before the event. It baffles me that NHRA wouldn't want to take somebody's money.

In the end,

to NHRA for allowing this to take place with the way the rules currently read. If any other non-celebrity / current sportsman racer tried to enter, NHRA would tell them to hit the road. NHRA is doing this simply to benefit themselves, and I completely agree that this won't bring any real additional medial coverage to sportsman racing or S/G. It will to Kurt Busch, it will to NHRA, it will to NASCAR, it has to Roy Hill, it will to whoever beats Kurt Busch first round, but that's it. And once this circus act is finished, S/G and the rest of NHRA sportsman racing will go back into virtual obscurity.

And I don't agree with the double-entry fee thing either. If the field isn't full, it isn't full. NHRA is already going to hit you with a late entry fine. Let people with a grade of 0 in if they can arrange to get to that race within the week of registering.

Boo NHRA....Boo, liar liar, boooooooo......
