Well that's promising.

So “the Don” sold off his top fuel and funny car teams except for Tonys fuel team and is investing all those resources in to factory stock? Seems like an odd move.

Maybe there is some money from Mopar involved.

Always is. As Don has said before he doesn’t race on his own money. That’s why his son sat out all those years.

Well as boring as NHRA has become. FSS makes it more interesting.At least it brings back Mopar Vs Chevy Vs Ford.
Sorry if my post offends anyone. I just like cars with doors.Just not NHRA Pro Camaro.

I don't think it's so much a case that he 'sold off' the other T/F and F/C teams. Antron had long stated that he wanted to be a team owner, as well as Capps. I believe Don was very gracious in helping both achieve their dream of being team owners. In the case of Pruitt and Hagan, I'm sure Stewart had to pony up some pretty coin to Don for those teams. It may well be that if Don can find sponsorship he may bring back Tommy Johnson or Jack Beckman in a flopper. Time will tell.
