"The Blue Oval Gang--2009"
From left to right around the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid coming to a Ford Store near you:
Jamie McMurray, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, David Ragan and Carl Edwards (Roush-Fenway Racing)
Bill Elliott (Wood Brothers, partial schedule)
Paul Menard (Yates Racing), Bobby Labonte (Hall of Fame powered by Yates) and Travis Kvapil (Yates)
NASCAR says their sport is strong through the turns...we'll see if all of the confidence heard on the tour is true or just whistling past the graveyard. They took a shot at the IndyCar and American LeMans Series, saying that their commitment to green is just a change of fuel, and that ethanol (when everything is considered) puts more emissions into the air than NASCAR...so says Brian Z. France, NASCAR Chairman/CEO. A bit of tunnel vision from the Maximum Leader.
Lowe's Motor Speedway deserves props for putting this on during the economic hiccup.
We'll rejoin you over the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the American LeMans Sebring test.
