Ford Mutes its Stars!
“Ford mutes its stars!” - the headline reads.
WHAT! I thought that was the job of PCNA and NASCAR! You know that whole “make our drivers as plain-jane as, well… Plain Jane.”
What the hell is FoMoCo HQ silencing its drivers for? Don’t they know there are hard working “word-wonks” whose phony-baloney jobs at NASCAR depend on their ability to silence the nattering nabobs in firesuits?
Oh shoot… looks like I jumped the green flag! It isn’t NASCAR, nor the folks at Ford’s Dearborn HQ.
The speech squelcher’s reside in Victoria, Australia at FoMoCo’s HQ.
As a result of the recent dust-up and war of words Ford of Australia are telling their V8 Supercar teams to “Nip it in the bud!”
Specifically the “censor” is Ford’s Motorsport Manager Ray Price, “we’ve spoken to the teams about the incidents and we want clarity. There are always things said in the heat of the moment, Holden drivers as much as Fords drivers will have their say. What we need them to be is be mature and professional about it.”
Reportedly there has been a bit of phone tag between Ford officials and the three antagonists in an effort to cool their jets prior to this weekends Supercar round at Eastern Creek.
