KEY QUOTES
“The Ford engineers, working together with the race teams, have come up with a very special piece that we are going to debut here in Daytona. For one, I can’t wait to race because I know it is going to be fast, but it is going to look good in victory lane as well.” – Joey Logano, 2018 NASCAR champion
“This car has been engineered and designed thoroughly, to levels I don’t think we have ever experienced in my time at Team Penske and with Ford Performance. I think we are looking for really big things out of the car and I think it is going to deliver.” – Brad Keselowski
“Mustangs. Muscle cars. That is what needs to be on our race tracks and finally that is what is on our racetrack in NASCAR.” – Clint Bowyer
