Who really scored Pink?

... and today we can reveal the unlikely man who snared Pink for the V8 Supercars. Many suspected it was former rodeo and V8 Supremo Tony Cochrane who snared the biggest female name in would rock, but it was in fact race car driver and team owner Paul Morris who snared the music megastar.

But Carsguide can reveal Morris approached a disbelieving Cochrane claiming he could secure her for the campaign, and with a budget he did. Morris spends a lot of time in the US and is believed to have formed a friendship with the star through his network of motorsport contacts.

Taking a break from his Australian tour, none other than James Hetfield watched practice with Morris before having a ride with Greg Murphy. Hetfield left in awe of the V8s and invited a host of Supercars to his final show in Melbourne.
