According to Travis Kvapil on Tradin' Paint today on Sirius, Ford is giving them NO money, only TECHNICAL support like wind tunnel time and engineering help, so that sounds more reasonable.
As for where Front Row has found all this money, I haven't the slightest clue...

Andrew, it will still cost FORD money. The engineers giving Technical help do not come cheap. I still find it difficult believing FRM can afford to run 3 cars. Someone is really pushing this to happen. Putting all these Fords on the race track can prove disappointing if they don't do well. I heard Freeze on Sirius and I am hoping that some of the comments he made on his expectations for 2010 was right on.

He expectations are fairly realistic. He said he only expects to run 15th-25th, sometimes a little better, sometimes a little worse. I don't think that's really too much to ask, so maybe it will work out.
I hope Ford knows what they're doing. They do have a new head of Ford Racing over there, so maybe this is part of his plan to make Ford Racing better as a whole. We'll have to wait and see how it works out...
