I don't care who you cheer for at races, I don't care if you support Ford, Holden, Nissan or Mercedes, Dick Johnson is still a legend. This nearly brought a tear to my eye
Dick, I'm not a Ford fan, but as 1 of the machinist from Bryant's Engineering I supported you, through the XD, XE, Mustang & Sierra engines. I am proud to tell my son's & Family I knew U.. worked for & adored you & your sacrifice. I eventually bought at Springwood just around the corner from you, I have showed my son's where you & Jill Lived. You & Steven & the whole family hold a special place in my Heart. Cheers Derek
declare bankrupt and shut the doors, thats not his style he is a fighter and wont give up, trully one of the great australians, he will indeed like brock be remembered with much affection when he is no longer with us.
It is just heart warming seeing that team now. I remember on Forza 4 I made a a DJR livery with Penske since they switched to Ford in NASCAR written on it. Had no idea of what would happen and had no clue of how that team would boom into what it is now.
I've never been a true Holden fan or ford I am an Aussie now tell me at this stage now if he looked back the high and lows of racing he's truely on the high good on ya dick your not a quiter you a legend
Such morons making comments about things they no nothing about, both Brock & Johnson have had boom and bust times and while I supported Johnson & Ford I still respect Brock as a driver, but having been at the Wellington Street Race when Brock fired some of his pit crew because he couldn't afford to pay their air fares home (ironically while racing a Ford!) demonstrates to me the vagaries of Motorsport and the huge costs involved, Johnson had huge sponsorship deals 87 88 he made millions and that he lost that by entering into bad deals is just a fact of life it happens to many people, rich, poor, smart & dumb, Whincup can never be compared with the likes of Johnson & Brock because he has just one focus and that's to turn up & drive he has time to prepare, train, work in the gym, a dietitian, personal trainer, and so many people making decisions for him that no comparison can ever be made.
People need to learn from their mistakes, some never will. Dick, if you ever read this. If you need $2 mill a year to run a team, you need $24 mill in investment property returning 8% to cover that, not bad business partners.

And now look where he is! Managed to attract Roger Penske, and back where he belongs, challenging for the championship
Won the lot last year Dick good on you, you are the best
Heart breaking story, it really gets right down to the core hurting deep down inside!!!!
Thank God Dick did the deal with Roger. And now look at them.
Looks like Team Penske was the best thing to happen to him since the red flag in 1981.
doesn't matter if you are a ford or holden man this guy is a legend !!!!
❤ 😅😅😂😂❤
the tear's are close to spilling over :(

He said theres light at the end of the tunnel and that light is finally here thanks to Roger Penske
Kieran Eccles we just won the championship
Ford should buy back greens tuff and give it to him, it the least they could do for all he's done for ford

I saved hard in the 80's

A legend yes the king no Peter Brock was the king.
I live off 350 dollars week no sweat
Jeff Williams = drug dealer
Try running a multi million dollar race team is well with that 350 a week
NEVER the KING- BROCK will always be the KING
All Brock done was manage to not lose in a fully backed factory team.
@Joe Shabidu pull your head in loser
Who's the con that took the money
Steve Chalker . . . team manager for a number of years. Absolute con man.
sorry,jamie is the king now
nicola Thompson no he's not
Nicola Thompson.Jamie will never be the king
He's definitely up there with the greats, can't deny that
If JW is so grate how come 2014 Bathurst JW would NOT direct team orders???? Costing them the race!!
Getting rid of steve five years earlier would have helped
Steve wasn’t the problem.
