Koni Sports Car Challenge |
Ford took three of first five places at the Grand-Am Koni Sports Car Challenge in Daytona Beach, Florida. Second place was taken by the #61 ROUSH/Valvoline Mustang that was driven by Jack Roush, Jr. and Hugh Plumb. What's so great about that is two months ago they didn't even have a race team, pretty amazing huh? Both drivers led the race, with Roush leading the 63-car field around the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway for eight laps; Plumb led for two circuits late in the race. Unfortunately, the race ended under caution so he never got the chance to battle for the race win as the clock ticked across the three-hour mark signaling the end of competition. Third place was taken by the #59 Mustang FR500C which Dean Martin drove, the co-driver was Ken Wilden. The #37 Mustang FR500C driven by Bret Seafuse and James Gue followed into 5th place. Even though Ford isn't too good in sales, at least they're keeping the fans happy this race season.
