Earlier today, Ford Performance unveiled its new Mustang that will compete in the NASCAR XFINITY Series beginning next season. Current series drivers Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric and Cole Custer provide their thoughts on the new car.
CHASE BRISCOE, Stewart-Haas Racing with Fred Biagi
“When I think of Mustang the two words that come to my mind are performance and racing. The Mustang looks absolutely awesome on the Cup side because it’s as close as you can get to the street car, and I think this Xfinity model is just as nice. I love the hood and think the indentations add so much character to the car that it looks mean just sitting there. I’m super-excited to get to drive it and hopefully we can get it to Victory Lane in its very first race at Daytona.”
AUSTIN CINDRIC, Team Penske
“For any NASCAR fan that loves Ford and the Ford Mustang, I think this body update has to be exciting. My daily driver is the little brother to this new Xfinity Mustang spec, and I love how recognizable that relationship is to its street car counterpart. So, I can only imagine someone like myself, that has this car, or just someone who is a fan of the current Mustang, will be thrilled to see it hit the track in 2020!”
COLE CUSTER, Stewart-Haas Racing with Fred Biagi
“When you think of muscle cars you think of Mustang and for us in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this is huge. Anytime you get a new body style it’s going to mean improved performance and that’s something we’re all excited about. I hear from Ford fans all the time about how happy they are that we’re racing Mustang in NASCAR, and I think they’re going to be even happier once they see this new car on the track.”
