"Powerade does nothing for the Sportsman"....well, that's correct because they are connected to the Pro portion ONLY as I remember....Lucas Oil is the Sportsman's Sponsor; I believe there was a disconnect as well with Winston, as didn't Grace/TRW/Federal-Mogul/et al cover the Sportsman's section?

Regardless, I do take vicarious pleasure in the Pro's angst; I've always thought it was bad PR for Powerade to see Pro's barely sip out of the provided top end bottle if at all..I think I saw, once, as the camera panned away, a drive spit it out.

NHRA seems a directionless mess, but it's the only real game in town for 80% of the country.

Sad
