On the other hand he may be able to promote his new show, and yes he'll make money from it. But that's because kids and some adults have no experience with real racing which he makes a joke of.
This show like all his previous shows is playing on the non racing public/real racers.
Sorry for the Rant, but he ranks 2nd to the most stupid person in the USA, but with a big following. Yes OBAMA, ranks first.

I agree 1000%. I went to an episode of Pinks in NJ few years back, it was one of the worst times I ever had. We were harassed by the dumb ass state police who were at the track making sure safety equipment was used and done right.Which to me is a joke, I been drag racing a while too and dont need some State police rookie who went to a 4 hour class telling me how to hook my seat belts up. In fact i let him give me an entire demonstration for 5 minutes on the seat belts on the car I was near, finally I said "thanks but thats not my car and walked away"..lol
The techs were complete dicks, the staff sucked and didnt come anywhere near the racers the entire time. The only time I saw anyone from the sho was when I did my arm drop pass.
we waited around all day to be rushed up, rushed on the burn outs, rushed to stage for nothing. The rumor around was they were picking a 9.90 class even days before. And thats what they picked, 9.90.
I get pissed watching his show with his arrogant attitude "well its my show" blah blah blah...Then he shows favors, and always has to make it a Chevy vs Ford race, thats original.
The original pinks which they dont eve do anymore was even more absurd. People would bring 8 second cars to an 11 second race then people would bullshit for car lengths. That aint racing thats TV.
