With 2 little ones, I don't see racing full time as being real high on her priority list. John is going to have a hard enough time to find sponsors for 2 full time cars let alone 3. Don't kid yourself.Like I said before, the only way she comes back full time is if a sponsor specifically says they want her in the seat.
By this logic, if Force has no problem finding sponsors, and Ashley does have the desire to be in the car, why is there not a 4th JFR Funny Car out there?
Never say "never".
Ashley said today she isn't coming back full time, she is just keeping her license active in case of an emergency situation. She also said she isn't even sure she will be comfortable in the car because since becoming a mother she is now more nervous about everything. I was just pointing out the obvious in my previous post where you said my view was "archaic". My view had nothing to do with gender and everything to do with being a parent and her priorities changing. Like Martin said, Morgan has pulled back his schedule so he can do what's best for his family and with Ashley being the only parent (her husband is a co-CC on Courtney's car) home on race weekends I can see even more why she wouldn't want to race full time. Family is always first!
John Force said, "Ford and Castrol hit me for 60% of my budget. If I don't replace that, I can't race. My machine is too big, you know what I mean? "
No wonder why Ford is getting out, that's a lot of money to not have more advertising space than a blue oval on the side of body you can barely make out as a Mustang. Tasca has Ford as his primary backer and I can guarantee they aren't giving him anything close to $8m a year.
Depends on how much Alky it's cut with.... look at me six or seven years ago... nope, longer than that... try ten to twelve....
