Article Abstract:

Some people believe that racers Alderman and Scott Geoffrion used nitrous oxide in their cars to make them run faster. A break-in in May 1995 left only the engines of the racers' cars damaged, but some people think they staged the break-in to keep the NHRA from finding out about their cheating.
