DJ was still wearing Shell/FAI colours in 1994 when he won with John Bowe so if it was official Ford weren't advertsing it as such.

And, hey, Ford advertised when Seton won the ATCC!

from 93 both johnson and seton were sponsored by ford. they were not main sponsors but there was factory support, hence the ford logos on their cars, that were missing in the xd-xe, mustang and sierra days
when cigarette sponsorship was no longer allowed, seton would have gone bust, so ford then got one of their companies/arms/subsidiaries in ford credit to come on board. he was still getting money directly form ford and also from ford credit. just like dbd needham was on board for moff in the sierra. it wasn't ford as such but was done through one of ford's companies or close partners
