Well, Ford guys, this is your big chance. Me thinks you may finally have someone with the resources to pull it off. Everyone else ran out of money. Just sayin'

Perfect timing Ford's history has been one or two titles every 10 or 15 years .NASCAR parity defined
Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint

Lol. Common sense can get you in trouble these days. I havent seen any announcements except for the mess called Nascar.

The best part will be minthess claiming that Ford is the reason Shatz is kicking ass, not the other way around.

Holy Cow!! Tony will have Ford emblems on everything!!! I think they are slightly more aerodynamic than the Chevy logo. That's important..................since that's the only thing on these cars Ford or Chevy. (besides the composite molded grills)
Won't make one damned bit of difference in either sport---with the exception of which grill gets an extra 1/4" of spoiler etc, etc.
I wish everyone would quit pretending motorsports still run American cars. (or Toyotas for that matter) They would do everyone a great service if they would just end the make believe association with the auto-makers in Nascar. Everyone has that uncle that watches the race in the back yard on a couch and a tv with foil on the rabbit ears that refused to root for Tony because he was driving a Toyota,, right?

Often lost in the Ford conversation is Bob Fetter in central PA. I believe he was a few years ahead of Casey Luna - and proportionally as successful.
Who built Fetter's engines?
As I recall, they made more power than the Chevies, but were heavier, and much more expensive - like twice the price.
I'm not a Ford guy, but I can't think of a downside to a brand rivalry.

If, and I mean if, Shatz switches to Ford engines in his WOO sprint he will not repeat as the series champion. Now maybe, half way thru the season they might want to switch back to Chevy to help salvage the season, but here again that will never happen. With Tony, Donnie & Rickie already having thier bank accounts stocked, they will be told by Ford "suck it up & race.

Schatz's domination is not because of what's under the hood. He will be the series champion regardless of what's under the hood. You make the assumption that whatever Ford gets put together by Shaver or someone else will be down on power compared to the Chevys. Maybe or maybe not, and on small dry slick tracks it won't make much difference anyway. If it is down on power then your bigger tracks could see a difference. Knoxville with Donny down on power? That actually could be interesting. As for the entire season it won't make a difference at all.

I have total confidence Smoke can overcome the watered down chev-like stuff he'll be forced to run. Looks like Im going to have change my signature. Trump telling the Xxx lovers to get lost now this!

Roush-Yates got out of the sprint car engine business two years ago. There are a few teams that were/are still running them. Jack Dover comes to mind. TBJ was still running them while he still owned his own team. I think they did find another builder to maintain those engines. I'm not sure if any new Ford 360s are being built, but I'm guessing there are.

The dominant 360 Fords run by Dover, Brian Brown, Elk Grove Ford etc are currently built by Chris Moss.

You can't be blowing engines and swapping em out week after week. I remember Ford's half-azz attempt with Jeff Swindell years ago, half way thru the season had to switch to bowtie power by some builder not sure who it was, probably Gaerte back then as there weren't many builder's yet. . Maybe he'll have Yates technicians follow the WoO trail with Schatz, if it does happen, which is highly unlikely. Stewart is a bowtie guy thru and thru. The reason he left Gibbs was he wasn't going to drive anything but a bowtie, he made that very clear, and especially wasn't going to have one of those taayhoota engines built/manufactured in California in his Nascar rides. .
Lawlessness and liberalism equals Hell. NY City,
Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Minnepolis, etc. We saw it.
Burning hundreds of buildings, a thousand assaults and
dozens of murders. Getting worser and worser.
