WORLD WIDEPress ReleaseFor the first time in 40 years, a Ford Motor
Company car will be pacing the field for the Nascar season-opening
Daytona 500 when the 2011 Mustang GT, powered by the all-new 5
liter V8 engine, officially starts the race on Feb. 14 at Daytona
International Speedway.Having the opportunity to pace Americas
biggest auto race with a Ford icon like the 2011 Mustang GT is
truly an honor, said Jamie Allison, director, Ford North America
Motorsports. And to have the new 5.0L engine powering the car will
be a great way to demonstrate its power and class-leading fuel
economy.This latest version of Fords legendary muscle car will be a
Race Red glass roof coupe with an all-new 5.0 liter V8 engine
capable of producing 412 horsepower, while delivering a class
leading 25 mpg on the highway. The one-of-a-kind model will feature
a special Daytona 500 paint scheme, Ford Racing suspension, strut
tower brace and mufflers, unique painted wheels, and special
interior treatment, including specially branded lit sill plates.The
2011 Mustang GT Daytona 500 Pace Car model is one of only 50
special editions that will be built and sold to the public.
Everybody loves Mustang, Allison continued. That was evident last
year from the fan reaction when we announced it was going to be our
new model in the NASCAR Nationwide Series starting later this year.
This is just another way to showcase a true American icon in its
most natural environment.The last time a Ford served as pace car
for the Daytona 500 was 1970 when a Ford Torino GT convertible led
the field to the green flag.And while Mustang may be a rookie when
it comes to pacing the Daytona 500, its 45-year history is firmly
entrenched in racing and winning championships. Mustang captured
championships last year in the Grand-Am KONI and SCCA SPEED World
Challenge, in addition to leading Robert Hight to his first NHRA
Funny Car championship.Another element that makes this years pace
car even more unique is that it will be auctioned off for charity
before the actual race. Later this week (Jan. 23), the Mustang GT
Daytona 500 Pace Car will be offered at the annual Barrett-Jackson
Scottsdale Collector Car Auction, which is taking place in
Scottsdale, Ariz. Seven-time Daytona 500 champion Richard Petty,
the newest member of the Ford Racing family, will be on site to
help hand over the car to the winning bidder.All proceeds over the
manufacturers suggested retail price from the pace car auction will
go to help cure childhood diabetes through a donation to the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
