Not sure how this will stimulate growth within the nitro racing community, but we are told the NHRA’s official fuel supplier will bill teams $1680 per 42 gallon drums. 

We just wonder how this kind of a price from an official fuel supplier when many of the teams are racing for a reduced purse helps at a challenging time for teams.

It's the 800-pound gorilla in the corner of the room which no media outlet wants to touch without confirmation. Will John Force Racing be at the back-to-back Indianapolis events or even at all this season?

One of the more interesting rumors floating around the NHRA sphere suggests there will be a prominent absence at the 2020 season opener in Pomona, Ca. While there's no confirmation or denial, the word going around suggests two-time series champion Steve Torrence will not be in attendance at the NHRA Winternationals. Adding more fuel to the fire, Torrence isn't entered for the event yet per the official NHRA entry list. 

There has been no official statement as to Brian Corradi leaving John Force Racing and reunited with longtime friend and driver Antron Brown. We are hearing that John Force's crew chiefs for 2020, although not officially announced, will be Danny Hood and Ronnie Thompson. 

The traditional PRO test at Wild Horse Motorsports Park appears to be done at least for this season, or at least that's what is floating around the rumor mill. If the traditional preseason nitro warm-up moves locations, we hear the odds-on landing spot will be The Strip at Las Vegas, where the event was held in past years before it moved to Phoenix.

Did nitro fans see a glimpse of the future this season?

Was the Bob Tasca III satellite team success a harbinger of things to come?
