I doubt there's any backstory at all. NHRA probably asked to do it, as part of their 75th anniversary celebrations.

Likely nothing to see here.

I don't know about that. My job (Dollar Tree Inc) got to do this last year, it was a big deal for the company. There was also a hob-nobbing session the night before in Manhattan. I was invited to attend both, but couldn't because I was on leave for surgery. That was a nice opportunity to get some different eyes on the professional sport of NHRA drag racing.I doubt there's any backstory at all.

Agreed, My company as well, got to do this last year, it was a big deal for the company. There was also a hob-nobbing session the night before in Manhattan. Good exposure for the professional sport of NHRA drag racing. Why wouldn't you have your Champions on that stage?

I was a kid in NYC in the 70s and I got wind of a display of dragsters and funny cars at the WR Grace building in mid-town Manhattan. There were about 8-10 cars on display, when Grace was the series sponsor (I believe just before Winston was announced).
It would have been great if Austin and Doug could have had their cars out by the bronze bull statue (I truly doubt they would have been able to fire them up in the narrow block though)...

I thought the same thing - TASCA or FORD could have given him a FORD Sport coat instead of a Ford racing long sleeve sweatshirt. Everyone else was dressed for the occasion.

I think this has probably been a pretty memorable off season for Doug. Besides all the residual press and running his companies, his daughter got married a couple weeks ago as well. Oh - and getting ready to defend his title in 42 days too….. kind of keeps a feller busy I guess 
His was just found in the Chevrolet company car that he drove to the NHRA 2025 banquet. when it was found it was dirty and had small bullet holes in it.
