Notice that they are slowly taking down Mello Yello livery. Main page is cleaned up, other parts of the site Mello Yello is still shown.
Who Knows. I really think, we will never know the hole story. Didn't NHRA have a gag order put in the suit with the Pro Stock Trucks?So I guess NHRA is dropping the suit? Seems MY paid for the first half of the season which never ran anyway.

The contract has been posted and plenty of people have read it. I am not a lawyer but it reads to me that Coke violated the contract as it was written that "events outside of drag racing" can't be a reason to leave the contract. (I paraphrased that) A little Google and this case number comes up...How does anyone here know that Coke breached the contract when no one can actually has read said contract? As with any agreement there are always out-clauses and I'm sure the lawyers will argue on that, so we don't need to.
I'm not sure anyone here is say Coke breached the contract. But NHRA is saying that they did by filing a lawsuit.
Gotcha, didn't realize the contract was posted, sorry.The contract has been posted and plenty of people have read it.

No biggie, and like I said I am not a lawyer so I could be wrong as wellGotcha, didn't realize the contract was posted, sorry.
Only the lawsuit is online, and only pieces of the contract that NHRA is suing over. None of us have seen the NHRA/Coca Cola contract and I am sure it is many pages long. It would be very surprising if the contract does not contain a "Force Majeure" clause in it. I doubt that a corporation as large as Coke wouldn't have that clause in it.
I wonder what the PRO classes payout is going to be. Hopefully it's more than what it has been in the past.

It was announced on Sunday that Camping World was taking over IMMEDIATELY. NHRA started taking down all the Mello Yello stuff at Dallas this week. If you look on the NHRA site it says Camping World Championship Series, no Mello Yello anywhere.I would think a lawsuit or not, the contract must be followed to the end of 2020. Doug Kalitta could be the last Mello Yello Champion. I do not believe Camping World could just take over immediately because of the contract and especially with an open legal case.
Is that the contract or a summary for the lawsuit filing?The contract has been posted and plenty of people have read it.
