If there happens to be a nitro racing stoppage due to lack of supply, remember this tidbit we've learned from multiple sources close to the situation.

The NHRA first turned down Don Schumacher as a second distributor for nitromethane.

The NHRA also turned down the trio of Schumacher, Kenny Bernstein and John Force who were planning to join together in a distributorship.

What may seem odd is the NHRA also reportedly turned down non-racers, Bob Coffman and Glen Williams a.k.a. "The Cowboys" to serve as second distributors.

Schumacher is said to have made his decision about what to do with the nitromethane and our sources say he's adamant that he won't sell his supply to the official fuel supplier to the NHRA.
