3 times aussie v8 supercar champion Craig Lowndes will not drive for panoz at the race of 1000 years on new years eve. lowndes was due to drive the car with another aussie mark noske but will now be replaced by new Zealand v8 driver greg murphy.
as i havent read the article yet im not sure what the drama is but i believe it has something to do with Craigs decision to leave the Holden racing team for next year and he is still under contract to them until the end of december 31 and they decided not to let him race.

if thats the case it is a pretty low move by HRT who have decided to hamper this young guys efforts in getting more international drives in the future and this was a big opportunity for him but as usual HRT have shown no remorse and deserve a big kick in the ARSE for their lack of loyalty to this guy who has managed to win 3 championships in 4 years for them.

go to ford craig maybe they will treat you better

hrt are so ******* pathetic it makes you sick, i hope craig parks it on top of the mountain, screw them, they are stopping a genuine aussie competitor from competing in a world class event because of some 6 hours left in a contract.....
does this mean that lowndes will be going to a ford backed team

Sorry, that's pathetic

They'd not have got any bad press for letting the guy drive... unlike they will for not letting him...

The public will spew, burn their HRT flags, and they will have to change their mind, or remain unpopular evermore....woo hooo!!
