Back from the Fling
 

People race the NHRA races because of the exposure. In much the same fashion racers will run NHRA events because they feel as if they’re the cream of the crop, I think racers are saving up to attend Fling races for the same reason. All you have to say is the “Fling,” and everyone knows what race you’re talking about. Maybe the same as if we say “Indy?”
