Ford Motor Company announced a new partnership with Speedway Motorsports that puts the automaker in the limelight as the Official Car and Truck for four 2025 NASCAR weekends. The Blue Oval will have the honors at Atlanta Motor Speedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway, Nashville Superspeedway, and Dover Motor Speedway, starting with the most recent race at Atlanta.
“Our success is built on relationships, and Speedway Motorsports has always been a tremendous partner with Ford,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance. “This announcement is proof of that. Not only are we renewing as the official vehicles of Nashville Superspeedway and Dover Motor Speedway, but we are expanding to North Wilkesboro and the first NASCAR race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s natural to see our Ford Mustang and F-150 products at these world class facilities, and we are pleased to continue in that role.”
Ford vehicles will pace the field at each of the aforementioned tracks. In the past, this has included the Ford Mustang, the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, and even the Ford F-150 and its all-electric counterpart, the Ford F-150 Lightning. Meanwhile, Ford pickups will serve as the Official Truck, too, providing support for track operations like cleanup and safety efforts. The Blue Oval will also benefit from marketing and promotional opportunities at each track, putting the automaker in front of plenty of NASCAR enthusiasts both on and off the track.
“Ford has not only been a partner with Speedway Motorsports for decades, but it has been a significant part of NASCAR competition since cars first hit the tracks in 1948,” said Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith. “It’s our honor and privilege to not only extend this partnership but to expand it to new venues this year. We look forward to working with Ford to entertain NASCAR fans throughout 2025 and beyond.”
As a reminder, the teams allied with Ford compete with the F-150 in the Truck Series, while the Xfinity and Cup Series entries utilize Mustang Dark Horse race cars.
