One thing they definitely can not say is that the Force Flying Circus did not give them enough exposure.

im not losing sleep over it one bit, Castrol never did much for sportsman racing after they did away with the multi-team they use to have with sportsman cars. i tried castrol in my race car once, way to much detergent in it, always looked dirty. Like Quaker State when Bernstein took everybodys deal, Force did the same to castrol. Dont let the door hit you in the ***.

I intentionally did not buy Castrol because of the Force Flying Circus.

I used to use Pennzoil because that's what Da Grump said he used.

Maybe Ford wasn't too impressed with his naked daughter either.

I'll guarantee you that Ford is not pleased. They view themselves as a "family" oriented business. They do not like controversy or any type of edgy advertising. The mouth made a mistake with his daughter.

The way these companies make decisions takes a LONG time! This didn't have anything to do with what happened of late!
If people at the top change and the new arrivals aren't fans of drag racing they look a lot more closely at the ROI and how could it possibly be good with the customers they are aiming their advertising at?
