Tony Steward Racing
Use to be a Smoke fan, now not so much. But apparently since Nitro is all NHRA really cares about I suppose we are benefiting indirectly.

Re: Tony Steward Racing
I suppose this will keep the ball rolling with a younger team owner. And Don is will omg to help TSR and Antron get teams going.
Like the force Vs Pedregon yelling match of years ago. Wouldn’t be wise to engage with Smoke like that, |

Re: Tony Stewart Racing
In my opinion without the fuel cars there would not be any national events.
So I think TSR's participation will be good for the sport. However there is a possibility that it could only net one more car in the fuel ranks and they need more than that. |

Re: Tony Stewart Racing
Not sure if it will actually bring in any additional Nitro cars into the fold, just seems the same teams getting shuffled around. But I have to think the publicity of a big name NASCAR racer building a drag car team will have to be a plus for NHRA, even though it will do nothing for the Sportsman racers. Funny how NHRA chopped the number of races that Pro Stock was contested at, allegedly due to weak car counts in Pro Stock, Yet this year at least, Pro Stock has regularly had the highest car counts in the Pro classes. Many of the Nitro fields had under 16 car fields, while PS usually had cars that did not make the field.
