IF YA CAIN'T RUN WITH THE BIG DOGS . . .

Well, they're trucks anyway.

If NHRA officials had listened to Funny Car driver Gary Densham, the Pro Stock Trucks class might still be around . . . uh, with a few slight modifications for added fan interest. He suggested they should use nitrous engines and be equipped with a gun rack and a dog in the back. "You could handicap the drivers," Densham said. "Bob Panella would get the St. Bernard, and all them others would get Chihuahuas."

NEW SPONSOR NEWS

Johnny Gray, who replaced Frankie Pedregon in the Checker-Schucks-Kragen blue car, talks a lot about having fun on the race track with his new team. Evidently some potential investors were inspired by the CSK team's approach and are on the verge of finalizing associate sponsorship deals that should be announced soon.

NHRA's new association with Coca-Cola and the POWERade brand as series sponsor is returning immediate dividends. The snack-food company, which has had neither personal nor business connections with Worsham-Fink Racing before, approached the team just three weeks ago with the proposal.

That follows announcements that Sears' Craftsman tools, a longtime NHRA supporter, has deepened its commitment with the 2002 primary sponsorship of Dale Creasy Jr.'s nitro Funny Car. And in a Sturgis-meets-Glendora transaction, Harley Davidson is showing up at the party with G.T. Tonglet astride the long-awaited Vance & Hines Screamin' Eagle Pro Stock Bike that reportedly carries a $3 million tag.
