Well, someone apologized and it wasn't Erica. Took out Anderson, Johnson and Line today so no one gave her the win. Credit where it's due.

Noticed that as well. Line had a microphone in his face the second he stepped out of the car. If he came over to Erica, it was after the cameras and on air ESPN interview was complete.

The young people need to be involved with NHRA drag racing or the end result is less than satisfactory. The staging lanes in stock and superstock need to have that influx of young people too.

Not to take away from her accomplishments, but she wasn't the youngest national event finalist. That would be Gary Emmons at age 15 in 1988 at the Cajun Sports Nationals. Speedy Emmons was the youngest national event winner at age 16 in 1984 at the Cajun Sports Nationals.

When she can win about 68 more, maybe we will take notice. Greg and Jason have proven themselves.
