Murillo won't be giving up his NHRA license. He has a show coming out soon called The house of grudge. He needs the NHRA tracks to make his show happen.

You're exactly right, he won't give it up. He isn't going to start a war with the NHRA because he's smart and he knows he'll lose. All he needed to do was what he did: post the letter on Facebook, sit on the fence and let the public react. It's worked fairly well so far, since the opinion of the racing community seems to be overwhelmingly against the NHRA. With the pending lawsuit (which has been eerily silent since it was filed), rumors of some sort of sale and tracks being threatened privately, my guess is that there's a lot more going on behind the scenes in Glendora than we're aware of and this little public feud with a popular television show is the last thing they wanted. I've known Murillo by rep for 20 or more years, and this wouldn't the be first time he's played the long game with a sanctioning body.
