ALLEN JOHNSON LAST PRO STOCK RACE TODAY ON ESPN @ 7:30pm

It all comes down to money. Talked to Warren Johnston at the SEMA show and he said "I can only come back to Pro Stock if I can run on someone else's money." So many great racers have been sidelined because of little or no funding.This sport if for deep pockets only.Don Shumacher once stated that it cost over $42,000 in fuel to drive his rigs from Florida to Las Vegas.So for someone like Alan,one rig $6000. Times 23 races $138,000 give or take.They did have discussions about no longer doing the criss/cross over the country to limit the costs and do more of a loop but NHRA turned that idea down.And that's just for rig fuel...........
