SSG, MILLICAN TEAM MAKE MAJOR MOVES FOR 2019 | Competition Plus
After watching the aweful coverage of the Pomona race just confirms what I suspected all along . NHRA is now NASCAR in a straight line . $$$$$$$$ is all they care about . If you looked at the grandstands during coverage the only time it was full was quarter finals of the fuel classes . Pro Stock is an all Camaro show with prima donna drivers . Factory Stock is being taken over by the pros . Some have 2 or 3 cars . I followed NMCA for a lot of years until they moved everything to the Midwest and poured $$$$$i nto NMRA . X275, Outlaw 632 and the other door classes now have my attention . the D235 class is great . the down side is the livestream coverage can be wonky . Can't wait for Lights Out @ S.G.M.P.

I've never been a Pedregon (any of them) fan, but glad to see more Mopar bodies on the track.
I still miss Buster! He was the NHRA to me.
I just read this. Bummed out about her leaving. I wonder if she's pregnant? That's what happened to Ashley.Announcements this morning on both competitionplus.com, nhra.com and others that Courtney Force is walking away from driving immediately but will remain involved in the sport. No mention of how many Funny Cars JFR will be campaigning in 2019 or who the drivers will be.
Another announcement on competitionplus.com about a new multi-year sponsorship contract between Mopar and Don Schumacher Racing for both Top Fuel and Funny Car.
And another announcement on nhra.com says Blake Alexander will be in a Funny Car partnered with Tim Wilkerson.
That sucks. I was hoping she would stay in top fuel. But I had a feeling last year when she was testing in a funny car.Announcement on competitionplus.com this morning that Brittany Force will be driving the Advance Auto Parts sponsored Top Fuel car for JFR. This announcement must have been waiting to follow Courtney's announcement from yesterday.
Still no mention of who Brittany's crew chief will be.
That sucks. I was hoping she would stay in top fuel. But I had a feeling last year when she was testing in a funny car.
Announcements this morning on both competitionplus.com, nhra.com and others that Courtney Force is walking away from driving immediately but will remain involved in the sport.
That's good. I guess I read it wrong.She will be staying in Top Fuel, they are just taking Courtney's Sponsorship on the Funny Car and transferring it to the Dragster.
