Kenny Bernstein needed to let the public know he doesn't want to walk away from drag racing. Budweiser
didn't want to hurt a sport they have invested in for the past 30
years. The compromise was an announcement made the day after
Gainesville, instead of waiting until the fall.
Bernstein now has the time to hunt for funding, but admits, if funding
isn't found, he is prepared to walk away from the world of drag racing.
“If there’s no major sponsor, this company and this team will not be in
existence is what it boils down to,” said Bernstein on Saturday morning
at Houston Raceway Park. “The reason for that is really simple. This is
our business and how we make a living. We don’t have other businesses
to fall back on that we can pull from for a year.
