Austin Prock Announced! (10 Viewers)

[Nitro Bass!]

Here is my guess:

Other teams wanted Thomas as a crew chief. JFR wasn’t willing to pay Thomas what his offers were from the outside teams. Procks wanted to stay together, so they left together.

Bingo, right there in the front row!

Watched the WFO interview, also think Jimmy had other offers too. Reading between the lines Austin made it pretty clear without saying it, if he stayed at JFR his Brother and Dad were not.

The announcement at Ford was kinda uneventful. To show Bob and Austin just sitting in the crowd and not on the stage was a letdown. Wouldn't been better with the funny car sitting on stage with the #1 on it ?

i hope thomas continues to be in the limelight this year, taking interviews on the starting line and in pits.
ford is quite lucky really. racing as a family IS really the big story here and probably the dominate story as the year starts,
followed very closely by the impending vandergriff/prock matchup

The F1 program is probably100 x the cost of the funny car program

Yes at 135 million a year it could easily run all of TF & FC for a few years

In early interviews with Force/Prock they said it was never about the money.....
