Stick-and-ball sports are driven by stats and numbers and that information engages a whole new group of followers (i.e. the "fantasy" fan). NHRA would do well to figure out a way to engage these stat geeks and tap into that interest.

Warren, I do appreciate what you do and know how hard it is to accomplish.Thank you. But as far as the stats are concerned, it doesn't mean I have to like it, even though I too have to rely on those stats for what I do. Ugh!
