It needed embellishment and people pushing the car without fully fact checking evidently to get there. I believe someone from Dodge said in an article they were on board with the car the second they were told about it,they didnt hesitate. It was said to be undefeated in one article, and in another it "usually " won. Everyone is quick to say they dont care if the story is made up, its a great car anyway ...really????? YES, the true complete story about the car does matter if that "story" is the reason all the acccolades/attention/pedigree was given to the car in the first place. Just my 02 cents that dont matter

Excellent analysis above.
I might be the only person on this forum that actually negotiated successfully with the same corporate partners to get a car in the cube and recognized by the HVA.
We had all the proof needed. In the end it was a financial calculation by the corporate interests... was the story compelling enough to make money on?
Once that line was crossed they were in hook line and sinker. I commented on and even authored the press release materials. I insisted on 100% facts and no embellishments. That was THE struggle because a corporate interest always has a marketing plan.
