Were Homestead races fixed?
Dear Bud, If you mean did NASCAR fix the races so Ford would win and not cancel their NASCAR program? We have no idea, anything is possible we suppose, but it's quite transparent how things just seem to work out in NASCAR's managed racing environment.
We can tell you that new Ford CEO Alan Mulally got the royal treatment from Ford Racing personnel in a well orchestrated introduction to Ford racing's activities in NASCAR. (L to R) Alan Mulally, President and CEO Ford Motor Company with Edsel B Ford II and Dan Davis.
It was clear to everyone in the paddock that day that Mulally got in-depth exposure to Ford's involvement in NASCAR, so that they could live to race another day. The fact that they won all three races mind you, was just the icing on the cake that Ford Racing needed to see their funding continued. Mark C.
