Brent Jones got screwed

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!
