Had to catch up on how Ford's racing teams did over the weekend, and the news is pretty good!
π Winner, Ryan Preece, #60 Mustang Dark Horse, NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. First career Cup win!
π NASCAR Cup Series Championship Chase field set with FIVE Ford teams: #12 Ryan Blaney (2nd), #22 Joey Logano (9th), #17 Chris Buescher (10th), #2 Austin Cindric (15th), #60 Ryan Preece (16th)
π Winner in both Race 1 and Race 2, Frankie Muniz and Tyler Stone, #30 Mustang GT4, Pirelli GT4 America Series Am Class at Road America, now 2nd in series points. First career win!
π Set last weekend, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will have FOUR Ford teams competing for the Championship: #34 Layne Riggs (1st in points, also winner of the last NCTS race), #38 Chandler Smith (3rd), #88 Ty Majeski (6th), #99 Ben Rhodes (9th)
π One more very notable mention, Josh Berry took the #21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse to 9th at Daytona. That marks a record-tying FIFTH consecutive top-10 finish for Berry. The last time the Wood Brothers team had 5 top-10's in a row? 1994 with Morgan Shepherd.
