The next iteration of the Ford Mustang that will compete in the NASCAR Cup Series beginning next season was revealed Wednesday and is based on the Mustang Dark Horse.
“What a crazy year it has been revealing our new global Mustangs for racing,” Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, said. “The positive response from our fans around the world has been amazing, and we’re confident that this Mustang Dark Horse Cup car will be no different and that NASCAR fans will be excited to cheer us on next year. Our Ford Performance staff, together with our NASCAR race teams, have worked tirelessly in the wind tunnel developing this car, and I can’t wait to finally see it race on the track next season.”
Ford has raced the Mustang in the Cup Series since 2019. The company introduced the Mustang Dark Horse production vehicle last year.
