But I don't know what can be done about it, other than not allowing teams to own more than one car in a particular class. That rule actually might do some good for the sport, instead of 4 funny cars, teams like Force would field Top Fuel, Funny Car and a Pro Stock bike and car. He'd probably end up with more total air time that way, and the sponsors would be just as happy, and dives would be a thing of the past.
You could even have a separate "Team Championship" for the team that has the best combined results.

I remember teams like that in the 1970s. You know, the dark ages. I remember Jungle Jim had a pro stock car.
What you say makes so much sense, from the fan's persective, that it will never ever happen.
In reality , diving should be illegal, but you could never prove it. It seems like money justifys anything today.
If a real sport's championship was thrown that way, it would be, well, I don't know, the 1919 Chicago Black Sox.
Say it ain't so....
