Understood.

The profit percentage per car is the same, so NHRA makes the exact same amount of money on the factory race cars regardless of what class they enter. The new class does not cost NHRA money. In fact, with a new class, NHRA makes more money.
I am not sure that is exactly true. Entry fee and payout are a small percentage of the math when it comes to a National.

Well, the manufacturers, for their expenditure, would get a class that showcases their cars. So, it would be to their advantage.......A lot of the Hemi cars do not bother to run eliminations. The Hemi cars do not get a free pass on AHFS hits, either.
The problem with this argument is that with the Hemi Shootout, Mopar is guaranteed that a Mopar will win, so it is good for the brand. In an FX class there will always be two losers out of three. I can't see why any manufacturer would be jumping to spend advertising money on that kind of ROI opportunity. I think that contingency would be a much safer choice.
