NASCAR's Chase Rolls
into Kansas; Slankard Talks '13 Fusion Testing
Following his fourth-place finish at Charlotte last weekend,
Greg Biffle moved up three spots to sixth in the standings and aims to continue
that trend this weekend at Kansas where record speeds are expected. Ford
Racing's NASCAR Operations Manager Andy Slankard also gives us his insight on
testing the 2013 NASCAR Fusion HERE. And if you'll be at Kansas Motor Speedway
this weekend, be sure to stop by the Ford Display where many of Ford's drivers
and team owners will be making appearances!
M-Sport WRC Fiestas
Aim to Tame Italian Gravel Challenge
With just two rallies left on the 2012 calendar, the Ford
World Rally Team would love nothing more than to close out the season with a
pair of victories. This weekend's penultimate round takes place in Italy, and
it marks the final gravel rally of the year as well. M-Sport's pair of Fiestas
will be piloted by regulars Jari-Matti Latvala and Petter Solberg, and both are
aiming to repeat their performances from Wales Rally GB, the series' most
recent gravel rally in which Latvala won and Solberg took third. Get the full

Gittin Mustang Shreds
Tires at Flat Rock Assembly in 2nd Shift Drift
Fresh off the announcement of Ford's new partnership with
Formula Drift comes Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s 2nd Shift Drift. Featuring Vaughn’s
unique pre-delivery process, 2nd Shift Drift sees Gittin driving his Mustang
drifter off of the Flat Rock, MI, assembly line (where new Mustangs are born!)
and through a series of incredible maneuvers around the property – until he’s
satisfied that the car’s ready to “ship” to the Ford dealer. Join Gittin as he
turns Flat Rock into his playground HERE! Miss the action from last weekend's
Formula Drift finale from Irwindale? Check out Gittin's thoughts and our RECAP
VIDEO, too!
Cobra Jets Shine with
Trio of wins and five National Records
More than 20 Mustang Cobra Jets were in action last weekend
and they made the most of their time on track, taking three event wins (among
countless round wins) and setting five new national records! Winners included
Bo Butner at the Las Vegas Sports Nationals, Bo Kenney at the Dutch Classic and
PB Candies at the NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional at Baytown, TX. Cobra Jets also
went 2-0 in heads-up competition against COPO Camaros.
Sportsman: Fazio's
64½ Mustang Takes SS Crown at Maple Grove
Despite consistently strong performances at most NHRA
Division 1 tracks, Bobby Fazio of Norristown, PA, felt he never quite "got
in a groove" at Maple Grove Raceway. Well, that all changed this weekend
when Fazio went seven rounds to win the SS title in his 1964½ Mustang. With a
final pass of 10.900 seconds @ 113.2 MPH, Fazio was definitely in a
"groove." Way to go Bobby!
