Those aren't SoCal regional teams. They are normal running cars. Strasburg is from Utah. Hartley is from Nebraska. Buff drives the BME car from Nevada. Tuttle is a touring car based in Indy. Again, other than Chrisman, who is talking about a second car by mid year, what regional teams are we talking of? Everyone mentioned already runs plenty of races and is considered part of the normal car count.

NASCAR has a contract with all of their race promoters and a contract with their broadcast partners guaranteeing 43 starting cars at every race. That is why they would "help" a few teams make the show here and there.
As far as I know, NHRA has no such provisions with ESPN or any of the tracks.
Don't worry once NHRA catches wind that NASCAR's doing it, they'll be quick to follow; monkey see monkey do.

That would be another upset... And I also heard Hartley was getting out of the car...
Buff is already registered, and I think Strasburg would hit Pomona...

You would think monkey would see monkey falling and stop copying... Nascar's PLC is not in growth and copying an entity that needs a different market strategy than one in their growth stage is foolish...

I think the local comment meant cars that live in SoCal... which I believe means south of the Grapevine...
Saying someone from the Bay Area is Local to Pomona is like saying someone from NYC is local to Richmond, Va

Thanks for the help
I was referring to the 2008 car count ,and that the car is still here in the USA . Since you like to pick the flysh*t out of the pepper, maybe Texas could be "local" as compared to being in Europe.

I lived there for a few years in the 90's & we kept the funny car in Fort Worth during the late 80's for winter match racing. Hung out at Dick's last resort.
Many good stories from around the Beatle place.
