Undisputed or Unhinged ?

Thats funny because I know, for a fact, that pennzoil users were taking cash from pennzoil and buying other brands with it.

In fact, there was a lawsuit over it, people were fired and one brand never sponsored an NHRA again. To this day they won't touch anything NHRA because of the way they were treated over the pennzoil deal.

Same with slick 50 when was backing Rickie Smith. Had that name on everything, but they had a different brand of oil in the car.

BTW, it was Eckman and Orndorff working with a guy named Bob whose last name I forget who was doing the dirty. E & O also did some other stuff!!

I knew they were using nitrous back in 1994 or 95 because they were testing with it at Woodburn. Even Ray Charles could see by the spark plug what they were doing. It was comical. They were ordering oil in 5 gallon pails. I could tell by the numbers on the pail it wasn't pennzoil. In fact, I still have the records showing that at the very least, during that time frame, about a minimum of PS cars were using one brand of oil, regardless of what sticker was on the car. Hence the law suits and all that crapola.

I remember that deal very well. Pure cronyism, and a lot of people were pissed off. If they were going to sink that kind of money into a team, why those guys? Why Pro Stock? This was before they before they sponsored Michael Waltrip, who had exponentially more exposure. I'm just glad the car that had the explosion wasn't yellow.
