From the JD website........
Keeping up with JackDaniel's Racing Jack Daniel's Congratulates Drag Racing Champion Brett Stevens On A Wonderful Career Brown Forman, owner of the Jack Daniel’s trademark, would like to congratulate Brett ‘the Boss’ Stevens on a stellar career following his recent retirement announcement. In a partnership spanning more than 15 years, Jack Daniel’s has seen its association with Brett grow from supporting a single Jack Daniel’s Top Bike entry to a multi-car and bike Jack Daniel’s Top Doorslammer and Top Bike team. In that time, Jack Daniel’s has been privileged to share in Brett’s many successes, including both Top Doorslammer and Top Bike Australian Drag Racing Championships, many national event victories, and numerous national and international records. Brett’s focus on building the Jack Daniel’s trademark off-track has also been greatly appreciated and made him a true ambassador of the Jack Daniel’s brand. His invaluable support and ‘can do’ attitude over the years made Brett an asset to our company and true champion to his fans. As a mark of respect to a person who has retired at the top of their sport, Jack Daniel’s will not be pursuing any further drag racing sponsorships and we look forward to watching the sport from the sidelines. Finally, we would like to sincerely thank Brett for his contribution to the success of the Jack Daniel’s brand and wish him continued success in his retirement from professional drag racing.

there is a lot more to just a retirement.......a lot of people around drag racing ( including myself, i crew for a S/C outlaws car) will tell you that. i know a lot of things that went on internally to do with JDR that a lot dont, and that i wont repeat. a good mate of mine who i went to school with, the former speedway racer, todd waddell, got the contract to drive the mack trucks entry, and i still keep in touch with him
i reckon he was on a last chance from andra too, and punching the jack daniels rep was the last straw. he's done a hell of a lot of stupid things over the years only got himself to blame. i dont know where the "awesome bloke" and "legend bloke" comments come from, because he's a massive tool when it comes to a lot of things. if he didnt punch the guy, he'd still be racing

The worse thing about all this, is there are no Ford bodied cars in T/D.

He never said anything about not being involved, or anything why they removed all his drag racing cars.

It all seems fishy to me. He must have been a pretty small time dealer for the fuzz to only find $10000 in cash. ![]()

I always wondered how someone could finance such an opperation as I WISH I could. I don't care what he's done on the side right or wrong, the man can really drive and is a LEGEND in the sport IMHO! All things aside this is a fact.
Cheers Glenn

I think there would be heaps of guys that could drive as good, if not better than BS if they had access to the same equipment and funding and could show their talents.

i heard that aside from the money they found at his place, he had "affiliations" with ppl who had been raided over the previous few weeks, one of which i'd say grassed him bigtime. He was linked to several pill presses also. I believe thats why JD withdrew sponsorship.
