I was thinking the same thing. If it's Mopar they need to be working on it now so they can be competitive for next year. We'll know if it is when they start making rule changes to make sure it isn't competitive.

I read about that new partnership, in Dragzine.com Newsletter
the biggest owned team in NHRA now
bunch of classes
Now, T/F, F/C, Pro/Stock & Mountain Motor/PS, Pro/Mod
& several Comp Elim. or sportsman teams/cars
(no bikes)
used to be NHRA rules stated
no more than 4 cars/vehicles of any 1 class, in/under any 1 owner/team, period
I'm not a fan of Elite Motorsports, org. owner "Dick' Freeman or Miss Piggy
(liars cheaters, team BS)
maybe with TSR, it may get a lil' redemption (from me)
I can't stand Erica "miss piggy" Enders/Stephens 'at all'
most the rest of the team isn't the problem (for me)

Sounds like this might be Tony's ride for next year. Here's what it says about the deal:
Elite Motorsports and Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) have announced that they are forming a sales, marketing and hospitality alliance in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) with a focus on the Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series.
“Our partnership with Elite Motorsports and Richard Freeman and his group is unique,” said TSR team owner Tony Stewart. “It’s taking all of our assets that we have with TSR and Elite Motorsports with the Pro Stock, Mountain Motor Pro Stock, Competition Eliminator, and Pro Mod teams and creating a situation where we have a lot to offer partners and potential partners down the road. We will be pooling our assets together and working together to try to fund these race cars. This is a unique strategy that Richard came up with, but I really buy into the concept of it and I think it’s already beneficial in the short amount of time that we’ve already started working together. We see the benefits of this and it can continue to make both of our organizations bigger and stronger down the road. I’m excited to work with Richard and his group. Richard and I have a great friendship and I think that’s what great partnerships start out as. He has a great organization with great people and I feel like putting our two teams with our great people together is just going to make for a very strong alliance and a partnership that will be beneficial to both organizations.”
It was announced yesterday that Elite Motorsports purchased Josh Hart’s Top Fuel program. Through this alliance, Elite Motorsports and TSR are actively pursuing sponsorships and partners for the Top Fuel operation. They will be looking for the right people and team to run the program once it is fully funded. No driver has been announced at this time.

Sounds like Leah is coming back, wants to go T/F racing in 2026
I wonder what class Tony will choose, he was all amped up about Pro-stock
after doing some seat time in a Elite 'rental/lease program car' P/Ser
I'm not a fan (as you probably can tell) of these conglomerates
or huge team BS
Tony doesn't need 'Dick' ("Richard Came Up With")
he could do it on his own, & with MoPar/Direct Connection too
just hire the right people, & consultants even
not have to deal with any of the negative (Team BS) history
