From NASCAR Fans Newsletter and Mike Irwin and r/0 Grady: The Virginia Pilot, of Norfolk, Virginia, has a column today from Larry Bonko (Bonko is an national entertainment (television) columnist) which states: “Roush Racing of Liberty NC, says its multimillion-dollar deal with the Family Channel to sponsor driver Ted Musgrave in NASCAR competition will end in a few weeks. ……..it was no surprise… Since Rupert Murdoch, in league with Saban Entertainment, bought FAM the shakeups have
measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. Layoffs at FAM’s Virginia Beach headquarters are numerous. And now comes word it’s adios to Musgrave and his #16 Ford Thunderbird, which hasn’t won a Winston Cup race.” After checking the Virginia Pilot home page (http://www.pilotonline.com), the story could not be found on the site anywhere yet, nor have I seen this anywhere else yet.(NASCAR Fans), it was announced back in July that Roush and the Family Channel had re-signed for 3 more years, not sure what happened there(9-22-97)
