Frank's only support from Audi, is with Audi in Canada (for the Canadian
CARS series), not AoA.  He approached AoA to help him in the US, after STPR
(where he won), and they turned him down.  After that, he stopped running in
the US, since neither AoA or Castrol wants to support his US effort.
They'll take all the advertising he gave them in the ESPN2 footage for STPR
though!!

cya!
