Suit Against NASCAR Driver Dismissed
A breach of contract lawsuit brought against NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne by the Ford Motor Co. has been dismissed by US District Judge Robert Cleland. In the ruling, the judge stated that the contract could not be enforced under Michigan law because there were parts that had been left open for negotiation.The judge wrote: "No reasonable jury could conclude, based on the record of evidence presented, that the parties had reached agreement on all material or essential terms."
In the lawsuit filed by Ford, it was alleged that the driver had been contracted to drive Ford vehicles and appear in promotional activity. The lawsuit went on to state that the driver left in 2003 and joined a Dodge team.
The driver himself was delighted with the outcome, and stated: "I'm thrilled that this decision sets the record straight that my move to Evernham Motorsports and the NASCAR Nextel Cup series was in good faith and didn't breach my Ford contract."
