I nothing against the driller car, but didnt the paul pitman build that pro stock car himself?.....no love for a diyer?

I have no problem with the best engineered award. I think that was warranted. But best appearing should've gone to the driller hands down.

The more times I went to look at this car the more stuff I ran across. The trunk was over the top.

I'm sure being the Chevrolet U.S Nationals had something to do with not winning either award. Like Chuck said, politics.

I was told Scott Brown did both the graphics and the paint

And you know something about paint.

I wonder how many Chevies have won best appearing at the MOPAR Mile Highs?
It's politics, it's dumb, it's also kissing the event sponsor's rear.

And somebody drinking Gatorade was told to leave the staging lanes at Indy? Really?

That car may have sold me on the new Challys! I saw a bunch of pictures [mainly the trunk] somewhere in a thread but now I can't find it...can anyone point me in the right direction?

I was at the race for 4 days and had the opportunity to see both door cars up close. The pro-stocker is a work of art. I wonder if some of the responses on here are biased toward the Mopar because it is a class car and likely a friend to many on this site ? Politics was likely involved with the selection but as someone else mentioned, when was the last GM car selected at the Mopar Mile high race ?
