They should put Ashley in the "Start up" car and John back in the "High Mileage" colors.

Thats funny!

Could Baca's former sponsor be the livery on Ashley's car?

This should be fun! Best of luck!

I don't think Mach 1 is gonna pony up 2 mil to be a title sponsor. I have heard that there is no title sponsor for the fourth Force FC until 2008.
Ford and Castrol are reportedly eager to have Ashley racing, but are not
wiiling to foot the entire bill for 2007. Also . . . hearing that there are some reservations at JFR if Ashley is ready. We'll know soon - fire 'em up!

How hard is the sell gonna be on that?? ANY company that grabs the side of that car is absolutely going to become a known name brand in a heartbeat. The press is going to be massive, and completely off the scale if she starts to go rounds. I don't see how 2 Million Buck ducks aren't lining up at the doors in Yorba Linda yet...

I gotta agree with that , she is a PR magnet.
I am curious as to why Driving Force isn't rerun into infinity like Dog.
I missed a bunch of eppes .
Guess they need more of them first so people have time to forget.

There are no shortage of sponsors for Ashley. We will all see next Tuesday.

The entire season with bonus interviews and un-aired footage is available on DVD from A&E. I bought the set for my truck-driver buddy (who hadn't seen any of it) as a Christmas gift. Now I gotta get it back from him so I can see the bonus stuff!

Who knew.

Since I heard(?) that Ashely couldn't complete Frank Hawley's TAFC course. I'm not convinced AF will be successful in the Fuel car. Remember Robert Hight made over 40 Laps before his first season, how many has Ashely made?

I'm willing to eat crow if she ends up proving me wrong, but based on what a couple of Flopper pilots in Vegas were telling me about the Vast differences between a A-Fuel Dragster and a Nitro FC. I'm going to play the wait and see game.
