Ron you are correct. Drama sells and causes attention. ESPN try's to stir stuff up all the time between teams and drivers. Pro-Stock doesn't get much love for air time. It's sad but the reason why they have been able to get as much air time here lately is because of the story line of man vrs woman, under dog vrs class domination. Americans LOVE underdog stories! Lots of movies are centered around them(like "Rudy").

Drama gains attention. I dislike drama but I understand others feed off of it. Look at prostock motorcycle the fued between the Harley's and everyone else. Gets their faces/sponsors on the camera. I hope this brings more attention to the class to get people interested in it.
