NASCAR star Kurt Busch to compete in NHRA Gatornationals - NASCAR News | FOX Sports on MSN

Equipment won't be an excuse.

I hope he does well. He's focused and will be ready to compete.

There are no downsides to him competing in my book. Good luck Kurt!

I can guarantee you that he'll get NHRA coverage during the NASCAR telecasts. It will absolutely draw new viewers that are curious about his efforts in Pro Stock. Very cool cross promotion.

LOVE those SHELL colors on the car! Wasn't Kevin Harvick affiliated with Shell and his Nationwide Series team?

No kiddin'!!! I'm not a Dodge guy by any stretch of the imagination, but that car looks sharp as hell!

Shell was on his cup cars for years. Shell has moved to Kurt Busch in the Cup series, Kurt's Miller Lite deal has moved to his teammate Brad Keselowski, and Kevin Harvick gets Budweiser this year and the old Bud guy (Kasey Kahne) takes over Scott Speed's ride at Red Bull Racing (sorry Amanda ). Got all that?

That's a sharp looking car. As noted by Chris, I think this will be good for the sport, and get us some ink and screen time we normally wouldn't get from the NASCAR press.

 

[Bullard Anderson]

This is good! Neat-O!

That could very well have been taken at "The Zoo" in Brainerd.

My sources tell me the above pictured Nascar Fan has purchased pitside tickets for the 2011 Gatornats.

Yeeeeeeeeeee....haaaaaaaa

Good luck to Kurt but I had to laugh at this blurb....

Pro Stock cars have similar appearance to their showroom counterparts but feature extensive engine modifications, sophisticated chassis and suspension with a maximum 500 cubic-inch engine displacement. On average a Pro Stock car will cover the quarter-mile in six and a half seconds with a speed of more than 200 mph.

If anyone can show me a street-legal production Avenger with a V8 and rear-drive, I'd like to see it.

That description sounds reasonable to me. The only thing that was considered similar was the appearance, nothing more.

Yea--its not "one of those long skinny cars with a wing on it."
Roll with it......not worth a 4 page hijack.

That may or may not have been me at Indy '09 in the campground. LOL.

Catch the sportsmen and watch the pros set up on Thursday-the admission is cheap ($16 and if you are an NHRA member, your coupon book should get you a discount on that).
