Open Letter to the Fans, Supercars and the Media,
There are many rumors out there that the reason behind
Brodie not driving for Erebus is due to an offer made by me to
drive in Nascar with our MobileX brand and him wanting out of
his contract. This is nothing more than a rumor made up by
some self-interested group trying to deflect the real issues for
the record We have no deal and have never asked Brodie to
break any contract nor has Brodie asked us to.
First, the notion that we want him in the US flies in the face of
reality. Brodie is a Boost Mobile supported Ambassador. He is
paid and contracted by Boost Australia. Of course, we want to
see him race in Australia,and any other suggestion is made up
and is trying to distract people from focusing on the core issue.
Would we like to see an Australian driver in Nascar? Yes.
Would we like to support other Australian drivers going
overseas to show the world what Australian drivers are all
about. Yes. In fact, we all should want that, but we discussed a
few races in Nascar for Brodie in 2024, and was this was not
going to conflict with Supercar races.
Now to Supercars and Erebus who put out that release
yesterday. I will not go into why Brodie will not race in 2024
with Erebus. That is his personal decision and I am sure when
he is ready, to explain why he will, but the release yesterday did
nothing than show me how Supercars and Erebus are Eooking
out for their own self interests ahead of a young driver. They
know full well what is taking place and this statement by the
Supercars CEO was so disappointing to me and not helpful.
We are all human beings,and we should always put the health
and well-being of each other above any commercial interests.
We should respect the privacy of young athletes. To play the
mental health card as Supercars did without first hearing from
the driver is wrong on so many levels.
I have been critical of teams and Supercars just wanting to
hopefully drive a better sport for all of us who love the
sport, but this latest attempt by Supercars and Erebus to try to
distract fans and media is a new low point.
