AR1 has a 'strong' rumor that Mario is being hired as a spokesman for a big US auto manufacturer, but they tease us by declining to reveal which one while hinting that it may have ramifications for CART.
Who here thinks it is Ford?
Who thinks it is Chevy or a GM brand?
Who thinks it is Diahatsu? :D
My guess is Ford, as such an arrangement would fit right in with the masterful working of Chris Pook's plans to remake the series and publicize it. I know Ford and Bridgestone are supposedly going to spend a bundle marketing their involvement with Champ Car this year, so I wonder if this is part of Ford's plan to do advertise? Very intersting, eh? :cool:
{edit} Title should read "So, which 'big US auto manufacturer' just hired Mario Andretti as spokesman?" but this BB software doesn't allow thread title editing. {/edit}
