This race should've been completed at another venue later in the year. We still had races in Belle Rose and Tulsa and Houston. By giving the R1 losers their money back only benefits NHRA in the sympathy department.
This was not the right decision.

Light added, with the exception of those who had raced and been eliminated, both their entry and insurance fees will be refunded. However, Light added none of the drivers will be forced to claim the race in points competition.

Losers will not get their money back according to Light.
