2015 Mustang Will Pace NASCAR Finales In Homestead This Weekend

The NASCAR season is winding its way to a final race this coming weekend during Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead Miami Speedway. Fittingly, the pace car for this race weekend will be one of the ultra-limited edition 2015 Mustang Pace cars. The Wimbledon White, pace car will pace both the NASCAR Spring Cup finale, and the NASCAR Nationwide Series Finale the day before.

Mark Fields, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company, will drive the pace car equipped with 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine, leading the Sprint Cup field to green for the final time this season. John Felice, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service will pace the starting field for the Nationwide race.

A race red Mustang GT will serve as the splitter car for the race as well. “Ford is very proud to have a 50-Year Limited Edition 2015 Mustang pace the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide races during Ford Championship Weekend,” said Chantel Lenard, director, U.S. Marketing, Ford Motor Company. “To have Mustang — a brand born of racing — in this special anniversary year, leading some of the world’s best drivers to the championship in two of NASCAR’s premier series, is special. We know our fans will enjoy seeing it out on the track.”

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will be paced by a pair of all new 2015 Ford F-150s this weekend. That truck just began rolling off the assembly line this week.
