OK so Mike is the new Jesse but here's the ringer Jesse saw the hand writing on the wall and bailed. FORD just doesn't care about Dragracing they have no funds($$$$$$) for it. It's going to fund the Ford GTs in road racing ( you could fund two or three years of a great Dragracing program one that alone). Now let's talk about the NASCAR program they added SHRs four cars and are funding 410 engine development program for Tony's Sprint car team. Then there will be a 358 engine the a Midget engine. Add the dollars Penske, Roush and Pettys teams. So what kind of dollars will Mike get for Dragracing? Not much at all cause there is so little left and not much if any at all for way it has always been in Detroit by the Auto Company's. It's just a way of life in Detroit!
Wondering how this guy knows so much about Fords plans. Didn't ever see him at the track

Great for Mike and all racers when any manufacturer promotes grounded people who relate to the Sportsman racers. One thing Mike didn't address in his interview though....does he have to park the Mopar now?
