I'll also point out that like the NFL they have put themselves in a trap.

Once an agency starts sticking its nose into everyones business outside of its charter it will never end. The NFL should have simply stated "Player XYZ was involved in XYZ and the matter is being handled by local authorities and we will take no action until they have concluded their investigation"

Instead they tried to pander and now its blowing up in their face.

NHRA should have stated "we don't agree with the show but its Hollywood and why don't you come to a real NHRA event to see what its all about" while quietly working with the shows producers.

Once you opened the door of what happens off track anything is fair game and you have set yourself up for massive failure.
