Kenny that's the biggest line of ***** I have heard in a long time. So what your telling me is that if I were to win a world championship and put my dad as a owner then he could enter at any time?

Kenny I just want everyone to play by the same rules. Seeing how you are a expert on owner points how long do they last?

Yes, your dad would be able to enter, but not you. Either the driver or the owner can enter, not both. The rule has been like that for as long as I can remember. He is a Champion, so it last forever.

I think its fine, the owner pays the bills just like you and me.

So Kenny what happens when the driver and owner both part ways. And they both want to enter the same race.

Ken Miele · 02-18-2016, 12:20 PM

They have to work it out, only one can enter.

I was told owner points were only good for one year. The reason for this was if there was a driver change from one year to the next then teams would not be affected. I fail to see how being a owner of a world championship pro stock team over 5 years ago give you a free pass over other racers that actually run the class and follow the rules.

And Kenny Vic is not a champion his driver was

Charley,

I'm just telling you what the rule is as I know it. If this is such an issue with you, contact NHRA. You wondered why he got in, I gave you my reason, take for what its worth.

Thanks Kenny you are a big help like always.
There's no need to get worked up Kenny. A few of us just wanted to know.

I don't see Jeg on the sportsman list. Pro's don't use a point system to get in, grading points pertain to sportsman only. It may be a gray area, but I think if this is an issue for anyone, contacting NHRA would be the best way to clarify the rule.

And if he were, he is also a former World Champion in the sportsman ranks. I'm not certain if he could only use that to enter Super Gas, or if it would apply to any category.
