Beer Town Wrap II
ESPN Video: Finals Races & Wrap Up
I thought it was very funny that in the Winner's Circle co-team owner Alan Johnson was drinking a Heineken and Del a Coors beer. I'm sure NHRA President Tom Compton and/or SVP-Racing Operations Graham Light busted a brain vessel over those unauthorized products being used. NHRA marketing staff do everything possible to make sure they control the Winner's Circle media presentations for the sponsors, and that drivers have a Full Throttle energy drink(produced by Coca-Cola) in their hand. NHRA and Coke representatives are standing right next to Alan, Del, and the crew when this was going on. I would bet a c-note that NHRA staff told Alan and his people to get rid of their beers and Alan told them where to go. He's a straight ahead, no BS, tough guy like his former boss Don "The Don" Schumacher. It would not surprise me if the NHRA fines the team. Not that they care with their mega-bucks Qatar royalty co-owner. Good stuff *lol*. ~ fla
