OP-ED: Chasing Speed and the Moment NHRA Finally Bet on its People | Drag Illustrated
For as long as I’ve had a front-row seat to this sport - for as long as I’ve watched drag racing try to claw its way into the modern attention economy with one hand tied behind its back - I’ve been saying the same thing like a broken record: we don’t have a racing problem.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I thought the same thing. I really enjoyed seeing what made Alexander tick. I enjoyed seeing how hectic Leah’s life was with balancing a baby, and packing for the long hauls. Seeing Tony Stewart’s house and all the cars hems kept. Seeing Leah’s dragster that broke in half. It made me feel connected somewhat. Like I knew them better. And then you see Jasmine and Ida fighting for every chance they can get to run full time. If I was wealthy and had a business, I 100% would be interested in them being my spokesperson solely based on their dedication.the other day wes buck with a good article over on DI.com regarding 'chasing speed'.

I have loved this whole series. The John Force/Prock segment really hit me hard. Whatever all this cost the NHRA, it was worth every penny. And they need to build on it. I have two teenage daughters and they just love any female driver. They just relate to them so easily.

I have watched eps. 2 and 3 (ep.1 playing hard to get). YouTube doesn't carry Chasing Speed here in Britain, for reasons unknown, but I switch my VPN to USA and that works. It's a good show, especially with the female racers. There is a fresh new market waiting out there, if only it can be accessed.
The biggest hurdle for NHRA to overcome was highlighted in a Camrie Caruso interview a year ago which I mentioned in another thread (apologies). Asked about her search for sponsorship, she said what had struck her most was how many people she'd approached had never heard of drag racing.

And further to the above, a timely intervention from Susan Wade in SPEED SPORT:

WADE: The State Of Sponsor Procurement - SPEED SPORT
Well, there in all its inglorious grammar and even more inconceivable shame is one of the most absurd takes on the state of sponsorship procurement among NHRA drivers

Ep. 5 last night. again the show focused in on blake alexander, and IMO for good reason. young man hustling his ass off
for everything he's got ....... no news on him this year yet? matt bynum with buddy hull this year.
anyone know anything? do you think he wanted the cornwell tools ride? and is now shuffled out? or still has arrangement
with CGM?

I saw somewhere it will be a split like last year. Don’t know who is the crew chief since they let Bynum go.

None of my business.
Pronto took out a full page add in the Feb National Dragster to wish him well this year. It also says he will share the 2nd CGM FC with Hunter this year.

that was a pretty good closer for the 6 show series. nice job covering the prock/JFR deal.
there's even a comment on youtube that says 'made me dislike prock even more after this' ...... that right there
tells you the show might be actually working. eagerly anticipating episode #7 and a response from the cowards
all's fair in love and war.
