Brent Jones got screwed

I agree, that car is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Mike Roth did a fantastic job on every detail. I'm not sure who takes credit for the paint work but the whole car is top notch from bumper to bumper.

I'm sure being the Chevrolet U.S Nationals had something to do with not winning either award. Like Chuck said, politics.

I was told Scott Brown did both the graphics and the paint

Well said.... I. Every picture looked better.. Would have loved to have seen it in person....

Brent's car is really impressive, fantastic top to bottom! Definitely should have won best appearing if not best engineered. I heard Mopar is giving him recognition in Mopar Magazine as well as an award.

All I can say is that is the best looking car top to bottom I have seen in my life. The detail was like nothing I have ever seen before. The silver bullet was bad ***** but this car was over the top.
Mike @ MR2 hit it out of the park.

This was total BS on NHRA part, what was so cool about that dragster?
Brent welcome to NHRA racing, unfortunately the driller got drilled in the ***** on this one.

A big time magazine did a photo shoot at the top end Friday.

you know , maybe NHRA needs to make a pro and sportsman award for both deals, all it is a wally (which is kept in stock), so...................

First off, I have to say that both Mike Roth from MR2 Performance and Mr. Jones(also owner of Lyons Dragway, 3-time Div.3 track of the year, and they dont even host a Divisional!) are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and would give you the shirt off their backs. That being said, shame on the NHRA depriving both of these gentlemen their more than deserving accolades. One, a "jig" based built pro stocker, built along side 25 other ones at the same time and the other a dragster which has all flat panels which come in a million removable pieces! All because the title sponsor was a different manufacturer than the obvious choice vehicle for BOTH awards, hands down, doesn't justify NHRA's political decision. Pro's should never recieve any awards other than the Big Wally for winning the race and not being an a$$hole but neither should a dragster. These two gentlemen spent the last 3 years preparing and perfecting this masterpiece for this wekend and moment in time. NHRA, whomever makes these decisions, should be discusted that they once again found away to kick a good "Sportsman" while he is down! For SHAME!
