Posted November 21, 2006 09:00 PM by Tim Beggs
The latest Bold Move from Ford involves a set of NASCAR drivers and the headlining Shelby GT500 Mustang. Ford invited Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Greg Biffle to come tear up a brand new test track for a promotional run to see just how the GT500 stands up and measures with professional drivers on a closed course. The energy this car has is apparent when one of the drivers refers to the car as a "race car" because it performed exceptionally on the course. Check out the video for yourself and see what all the excitement is about!

Jack Roush Jr in First Grand-Am Cup Start
Posted October 2, 2006 11:17 AM by Tim Beggs
The son of the famous Ford Mustang racer/entrepreneur, Jack Roush, is set to capitalize on his motorsports career with his first start in the Grand-Am Cup series on October 7 at 2p.m. (Central time). The versatile 33 year old Jack Roush, Junior has made his way from racing go-karts, through drag racing, and now seeks to conquer the twisties at the track in the Grand American Road Racing Association. Roush, Junior will be one of three co-drivers in the six-hour season finale at Virginia International Raceway, piloting the number 59 Rehagen Racing Ford Mustang along with Dean Martin and Ray Mason. Sponsorship, of course, is provided by ROUSH Performance as well as Brandon Ford, Columbus Truck & Equipment and Racer Bargains and he will race in the Grand Sport (GS) class--the premier division in the Grand-Am Cup. "I am really nervous and really excited at the same time about this race" said Roush, Junior. "I don't quite know what to expect but I do know that this (road racing) is something that I have really wanted to do for a while now so this is sort of the fulfillment of a dream." With over 75 cars already registered for the race, including 42 in the GS class alone, Roush Jr. is certainly going to have his work cut out for him.
