as most readers know, I don’t run campaigns on this site(TV, Track issues etc), many have expressed their displeasure in Tides dropping of Ricky Rudd and going with a new team and new owner in Cal Wells. Many readers have sent email to Tide letting them know of their displeasure of the situation, here is the ‘form’ letter Tide is sending out: “We’re sorry to disappoint you but we’re not renewing our contract with Rudd Performance Motorsports. We made a proposal to Ricky Rudd asking him to remain as driver of the Tide car for the 2000 season. He decided this arrangement doesn’t meet his future objectives. Ricky will continue as driver/owner of the #10 Tide Ford Taurus for the remainder of the 1999 season. He’s been an excellent driver and spokesperson for Tide. We certainly wish him the best in the future. We’re planning to continue our sponsorship of NASCAR racing. In fact, we’re negotiating with Precision Preparation, Inc., for a future sponsorship. We plan to announce a new driver for the Tide car within the next couple months”. To email/leave feedback yourself, go to P&G Feedback or Tide – Tell Us
