>> In the case of O?Reilly?s, it?s time NHRA either enforced their own widely discussed ?rule,? or just gave them an ultimatum: Either provide major sponsorship for a professional race team, or take a hike.

Riiiiiight. Like NHRA is going to tell O'Reilly to go anywhere. LOL They've got their money. Why would the push for more to risk losing everything?<<< Quote Beard

OK, my.02 or as Len says: my uninformed opinion,
I don't think NHRA will ever enforce the rules about team sponsorship with O'Reilly. It goes much deeper than O'Reilly being a team sponsor or NHRA having their money. Just check out the list of the HD partners. How is NHRA going to require a Partner to sponsor a team? Wouldn't that be real close to ownership or major support of a team by the owners of NHRA? Woops, look again at the Partners.. there are drivers & team owners... What a mess.

It would be nice to have a series sponsor that is not looking in your cooler to see what drinks you bring to the track. Or was looking in coolers just another paranoid move by the NHRA? It would be more customer friendly, and much more appropriate, if NHRA/Powerade gave product to put in the coolers. Google Powerade & see how many times NHRA is mentioned..
