Does anyone know whst happened to Preston? I was at Thunder Valley Bristol Tn NHRA races all weekend 3 days in a row all day each day. I never saw him nor heard anyone say anything. And then there is an add by Dodge on the track big screen with Goldberg talking about they have a program to be a Chief Donut Maker😳.

Yeh but just really weird Goldberg did a full commercial telling people to look for the Chief Donut Maker info. Hard to believe NHRA would be showing and Ad that some here think is old. But in the meantime has anyone here even seen this guy at more than one event since he was nominated?

He showed up to represent the brand at the Rockingham MSHS event last month. Not sure how involved he was as I had my head in the sand trying to take it easy.

We talked about it. I was watching the event on youtube and we were making comments on his bad burnouts

I'd have loved to be in room for the final discussion. Just to gear the terms being used.

It was determined there was a conflict of interest because he owned stock in Krispy Kreme

Kevin Helmick Posted this on facebook after meeting him in person.

So, I need to make a public apology to Preston, the first Chief Donut Maker for Dodge. While I was not initially pleased with the choice made to represent the Brotherhood of Muscle, I have changed my stance. I actually got to meet Preston at the Rock this weekend for the Modern Street HEMI Shootout. I AM IMPRESSED!
Why the change of heart? Preston himself. So, he drives a blue Dodge Charger Hellcat, that he ordered before the contest even began. He has not received the Dodge Hellcat that he gets to drive as Chief Donut Maker yet.
Next, we spoke in depth about his actual post, which was really against some folks who give the rest of us Dodge owners a bad name. People who are out violating the laws, and endangering others. He also was not happy with Dodge and the fact that our cars are so easily stolen.
So, after spending some quality time with Preston, I would like to publicly say, Congratulations Preston on becoming the first Chief Donut Maker. I should of had a little more faith in the process, but I am now completely satisfied. He is a family man, just like a lot of us, and we share many viewpoints.
Preston I promised you I would publicly acknowledge you and your validity and I am happy that YOU are representing US! Thank you for taking the time to seek me out, and if there is anything I can do to strengthen your effectiveness for this community, I will be glad to help. Folks, give him a chance, rewatch the videos if you can find them, and get past the thumbnail if it’s still out there.
The Brotherhood of Muscle just got a little stronger! It was great to have you at Rockingham with all of us at MSHS. I can’t wait to see what you can do. -GRMPYCAT

Glad to hear it. Though I must confess I am not sure what this "position" or job can actually do to effect change or provide a conduit for feedback. Isn't it primarily driven by a desire to break into demographics that polling shows have not been penetrated well already, like techies and the crowd that follow influencers?

I am going to have not followed to this with any particular interest so I'm a completely misunderstand something that has already been discussed.

Dodge is too busy trying to figure out how to make the stage kits electric.
