We had an incredible time hosting Ford Racing’s pre-Rolex 24 gathering at the American Muscle Car Museum! On the evening of January 20th, Ford invited its guests to celebrate before this weekend's 24-hour race in Daytona.
 
Ford brought out an amazing lineup of historic and modern racing machines, including:
 
• The legendary 1901 Ford Sweepstakes — Henry Ford’s first race car that helped launch the company’s success.
• The just-announced Mustang Dark Horse SC and the Mustang GTD
• The #67 Ford GT race car and the #65 Mustang GTD race car
• The Ford GT Mark IV - The last version of the model, with 800+ HP, and the only one we don't have!
• A pair of Dark Horse Mustangs
 
We were also honored to welcome six Ford factory and racing drivers who joined fans, signed autographs, and shared their insights ahead of the big race weekend. Those drivers in attendance were:
 
Car #64
Ben Barker
Dennis Olsen
Mike Rockenfeller
 
Car #65
Christopher Mies
Frédéric Vervisch
Sebastian Priaulx
 
Huge thank you to David Baltazar, Ford's Performance Sports Car Marketing Specialist from Ford Racing, for bringing such incredible cars and talent to AMCM — and to everyone who came out to celebrate the racing spirit with us! Best of luck this weekend!
