Well, Ryan Ondrejko just got his first Pro Stock win light in 1st round at Indy in a Jim Yates Racing Pontiac.....I am sure that Jim put him in the car because he recognizes this young man's talent....$$$ having nothing to do with it....Ryan you're making us up here in Divison 1 real proud! Running #1 Pro Stock qualifier Mike Edwards in round 2 will be a huge mountain to get over, though.....Best wishes Ryan! WJ

Not taking anything away from Ryan but Terry is right.If you don't bring a load of money with you you don't have a ride.Why do you think Connelly is n't driving this year? he's among the top 3 pure drivers in the class.

Back to Warren's comments, specifically about spectator count and down playing the Nationals. It does seem kinda ironic for Alan Page and company to keep going on about how big the Nationals are (which they are of course, there is no disputing that) and then keep seeing the bleachers not even close to full. I think he's right that NHRA's ticket pricing strategy is all wrong and they should look at ADRL and others. Also, they and ESPN should see what SPEED is doing and show real racers racing and not just fill 5 hours of air time with countless interviews, many of which were filmed in Seattle in July. On Warren and Kurt, makes you wonder how a couple of hard working dedicated racers might ultimately be pushed out because of politics.

Instead of Dunn and Page I would like to see Warren in as the announcer.......LOL. Now that would be exciting instead of BORING us to death with "Fuel Queer's" crap.

how about Dunn going against the Force clan yesterday?

How could he not? It would be hard to overrlook.

As a side note the engines being used in Ryan's car are still being built and maintained by Richard Maskin at Dart.
