And I'm not saying that he has any obligation to sell his Nitro.. But right now he's
playing like a spoiled kid.. Holding the nitro out infront of NHRA like a carrot.. As far as I'm concerned The NHRA has given a great deal to the Schumachers and vise versa.. Now with that said I do agree the the $100,000 fine was WAY out of line..

i would imagine without that $100k fine, Mr. Schumacher would be much more willing to deal
