NHRA and the "Bo Butner rule"?

[jmcarter]

Yesterday's rule book amendments included the following. Suppose we'll see how enforcement goes at BG:

The NHRA logo or name may not be used in conjunction with political
candidates.

If a race team legitimately is sponsored by a political candidate then the
candidate’s name and the year of the election may appear on the race vehicle

(but the vehicle will not be prominently featured/emphasized on television or in
other content, per broadcast standards and practices). Decal size will be limited
to 144 square inches on a race vehicle and 48 square inches on a motorcycle.

Location will be limited to the rear quarter panel of a race car, outside for the
driver’s compartment of a dragster and wheelie bar side shields on a motorcycle.
If a matter is deemed by NHRA not to be in the best interests of NHRA and the sport of drag racing, then NHRA will not allow such matter to be displayed or advertised on site or in connection with NHRA in any manner whatsoever. NHRA, in its sole and absolute discretion, may take any action, up to and including disqualification of a driver, for violation of this rule.
By way of illustration and without limitation, online gambling is an activity deemed by NHRA to be not in the best interests of NHRA and the sport of drag racing, and an activity that NHRA will not allow to be displayed or advertised on site at any NHRA event or in connection with NHRA in any manner whatsoever. Websites that allow gaming that is entirely free and for fun may be permitted pursuant to further guidelines that may be requested from NHRA. Violation of any part of any such guideline will be treated as violation of the NHRA Rulebook.
