Ford Performance has unveiled its updated Mustang
NASCAR that will compete in next year’s championship season. The American car manufacturer
decided to make the previous year’s Mustang NASCAR share similarities with the
GT350 but that’s not the case for 2020. Instead, Ford has facelifted the racer
with similar looks to the Mustang GT, including the sharp new headlights and
revised daytime running lights which, like all other NASCAR racers, aren’t
actually real and instead simple stickers.
The updated Ford Mustang NASCAR was developed in a
joint effort between Ford Design and the Ford Performance Technical Center. It
will make its racing debut during Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway
on Saturday, February 15, 2020.
While it doesn’t have much in common with the actual
production car parked in your driveway, the sixth-generation Ford Mustang
nameplate has proven to be a formidable force in the motorsport world. Not only
has the Mustang race-car captured five wins during the ongoing 2019 NASCAR
season but it has also been dominating the Virgin Australia Supercars
Championship taking victories in 17 of the first 20 races of the season and
already clinching the manufacturer’s title halfway through the season.
