The move shifts funds to stock and championship racing, adds Transcontinental Group 7 participation, and expands drag racing efforts. Ford currently sponsors four factory NASCAR teams via Holman and Moody in Charlotte and may enter late model and modified stock racing with reduced Le Mans emphasis.

Head as Central Factor in the Golf Swing
The article argues the head dominates the golf swing due to its weight and leverage. It suggests keeping the head level and perpendicular, avoiding forward movement, and starting backswing with a slight right tilt. A mental cue of a wall near the left cheek helps prevent head movement.
