Sounds like a rare flash of intelligence from NHRA.  Now if NASCAR would just wise up...

Agreed! Now this explains why Larry Morgan gave up on his Ford Pro Stock effort at the end of last year. Low and behold, Ford's nascent CobraJet Mustangs have a good chance of being quite competitive in the future. As for NASCAR......crickets!

NASCAR is happy....The Chevys are winning, Toyotas to a lesser degree and the Fords are fighting among themselves and not winning. That, to NASCAR is the perfect world.
