I don't think anyone is trashing PEP Boys, just in the light of recent strategic moves by the company a little suprised of the sponsorship announcement. Great deal for both them and NHRA.
BTW, not to sound callus or ignorant, but from someone who hasn't been to a national event is about 15 years, what is the "Allstar Call Out?"
For the record, I wished the one in my neighborhood still had the store opened. Many visits there and the Harbor Freight store around the corner on the same trip over the years.

callout as far as I know is letting the top ranked cars choose their opponent in 1st round of shootout from the remaining cars in the event. It might add some strategy to the deal and give the fans something else to discuss. This is the 1st time to do it

8 cars per all-star race rite? so 3 call outs in 1st rnd? and then 1 call out in semis? (low e.t. from 1st rnd?? ........x2 races = 8 pep boys call outs.......8 announcements in entire season.
i'd say they were approached to sponsor a race/s, and the 'call-out' deal was a little extra add-on.

I wonder if the call out only applies to the first round and then they do normal 8 car ladder based on the call out. There is time in the schedule for the call out on Friday but no time in the schedule for Saturday.

I wouldn't think they would want to. Calling out a teammate guarantees one of them loses. I would think they would want to roll the dice and try to get two wins in Round 1.

looking forward to 2023 version. hopefully not so much 'fluff' on tv show this year. i get it, you want to highlite the drivers, but at a certain point enough is enough.
just a simple interview about the opponent in next race, then let them race.
langdon, ant, and leah not in show ....... would love nothing more than to see clay double up at the gators...... or josh hart.

they wasted no time at all letting everyone know what the prize was back then.
the nhra.com article on this year's event mentions nothing about a prize......IMO they can't due to
utter embarrassment they're not even close to the prize offered over 25 years ago.
that being said, i'm glad there is a special event for TF'rs and FC's and a willing sponsor.
having the TF deal at the season opening gators is good too.

who helps you if you need parts?
The Pep Boys Stores In Bakersfield Leased out their Store fronts to Advance Auto Parts and kept only the Service Part. They are basically two different entities on the same property now. Advance came in and completly renovated the stores, painted the buildings and changed the signage as well as closing the pass through to the service department. Both sides of the one I pass seem to be doing well (Hope the service side is not comebacks ).
