COMMENTARY: IS DRAG RACING ACTING BUSCH LEAGUE?
The Lucas Oil NHRA Drag Racing Series and Super Gas division in particular, are sitting on a potential media home run.
To hear some of the discussions in drag racing circles, the prospect has flown over the heads of many who profess to be drag racing experts.
This potential media payday is the prospect of NASCAR star Kurt Busch racing Super Gas at the upcoming NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.
The possibilities are endless. The media exposure the sport of drag racing and one of its most obscure sportsman divisions could obtain staggers the mind. Kurt Busch gets coverage serving hamburgers in Atlanta while the world of drag racing struggles to get mentions of actual racing events.
While the sport of drag racing community should be licking its chops at the prospect of a bite from NASCAR’s once impenetrable market share [at least for drag racing], you have many message boards and Attitude’s CompetitionPlus.com readers demanding this media magnet scratch the notion from his head.
