JEGS Racing retweeted it a little while ago and said that Tom Compton confirmed that Coke is giving up the energy drink exclusivity in 2013, thus allowing Red Bull, Monster, etc. to be involved in NHRA drag racing if they choose to do so.
Nice!!
Good luck getting Monster or Rockstar back.
The energy drink fad is waning and thus, the exclusivity is probably a moot point now.
Really? 5 Hour Energy sells over 4 million bottles a week, I guess it's an accident. Rockstar is # 1. They sponsor the Phoenix race track, There home is vegas, we race 2 races a year there. I think I see Rockstar jumping back into the NHRA. This is fantastic news. We may see others come into or back into the sport. Vegas Fuel, 5 Hour Energy, Red Bull, Rockstar, Amp, NOS (I think coke only bottles them). This is fantastic news. The door's wide open.

None of them will come to NHRA if they read this board or certain members of the motorsports media based on the way Mello Yello is being treated.
What happened to Max Naylor and company's VEGAS FUEL? Haven't heard much about it lately.
This can only be a good thing all around for the sport of Drag Racing.
