Umm...what is this yellowbullet you speak of?

Signed!

As a dedicated Sportsman racer, I can't even watch the coverage as presently presented. Same cars, same commentaries. "Wide World of Sports" had good Sportsman Drag Racing coverage and I think viewership was respectable. In fact, it's still on YouTube 30+ years later! "Pinks" was successful with a bunch of no-names because there was a small back story and the editing brought excitement to the screen.
Thanks you for your considerations!

You need to petition NHRA because they buy the time from Espn. Espn doesn't decide what goes on the air.

Greg, this is a petition to NHRA. However, I also contacted ESPN on their page just to see if they could help us out and to find out for sure who decides what gets broadcast. They sent me an email a few months back and I posted it about two pages back.
