Ford Not leaving NASCAR: Ford Racing Technology’s Greg Specht said this week that the automaker is not panicking in the face of defections by Mark Martin, Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler to rival manufacturers, and has absolutely no plans to leave NASCAR.
Specht said he has been assured by corporate management that Ford will remain a viable part of NASCAR, and that adequate funding will be allocated to keep the automaker competitive with Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota. Ford CEO Edsel Ford made similar comments on MRN Radio two weeks ago at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Geez, I hope they have the money for this. Heck, I hope any of the big 3 don't go under period because of finanical troubles.

true that.
Whenever they get to talking about bankruptcy for these manufactuers I get nervous.

I would not be surprised if this is all a lie. Deny, deny, deny, and then next thing you know, it happens. That's the theme for this year.

I have no problems with Toyota. If the other teams are scared/threatened/whatever by Toyota's entry into the sport it's up to them to make themselves better.

I hope the big 3 will all stay.

I'd actually be more scared if Honda came into NASCAR.
