I think there is a past world champ clause. Kinda like if you win Indy you can get in with no Grade Point.

A few years ago Jeggie and Jason Line ran the Hemi Shootout at Indy. They had no grade points but past world champ provisional got them in. I had heard it was exibition only at selected Mopar events. Its still cool I dont care what anyone says.

I hope its true, he has a true passion for the sport. At the Mopar show in Ocala when he fired up one of his old FED's his eyes lit up and when asked questions he was like a little kid at show and tell with stories of the past and answering tech questions in full detail.He seems like a great guy.

Thumbs up Re: Garlits to race Stock in 09 ?

I'm all for it .This is one sure way class racing will finally hit the spotlight. Heck they may even have to explain indexes and records and all the good class stuff. You know they will have some explaining to do on the times BIG DADDY happens to lose. You know the car ran faster ,he missed the lite,ect..... I tkink it is great .I just hope he tries to run some IHRA. PS ,look at the TV time we will get .!!

I agree. Big Daddy running Stock or Super Stock can only help the exposure sportsman racing needs.
Maybe we can get him to hammer NHRA about payouts and entries.
