New 2013 Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup Car Brings the “Stock Car” Back to NASCAR


Ford Racing unveils 2013 Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup redesign at Charlotte
Motor Speedway during NASCAR Media Tour.


2013 Sprint Cup car features full redesign by Ford designers to mirror 2013
Fusion production car and return brand identity to the track.


New Fusion race car will debut at Daytona 500 in February, 2013.


Reveal will be streamed live at www.fordracing.com (http://www.fordracing.com/) and www.facebook.com/OfficialFordRacing (http://www.facebook.com/OfficialFordRacing).
CONCORD, N.C., Jan. 24, 2012 – Manufacturer brand identity is back
in NASCAR.



The 2013 Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup car, unveiled today as part of the
Charlotte Motor Speedway Media Tour, was worked on by Ford designers in an
effort to bring brand identity back to the sport. The result is undeniable with
the 2013 Sprint Cup car mirroring the recently unveiled 2013 Ford Fusion
production car.



Featuring a completely redesigned sleek new silhouette and fresh face, the
2013 Fusion Sprint Cup car was designed to be the face of a new era of stock car
racing.



”We wanted Fusion to be the car that helped return ‘stock car’ to NASCAR.”
stated Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing. “I think fans, when they see the
car, are just going to smile and cheer. It is going to reengage them with the
sport and make the sport better because there is just something natural about
seeing race cars that look like cars in their driveways.”



This marks the third time Ford simultaneously launched production and
NASCAR versions of a new model ...

Even though most of it looks like stickers, it still looks good. I wish they would make a 2 door Fusion in RWD. I think that would be a fun car with the 5.0.

It is good to see NASCAR realize that Bill Jr.'s personal issues were not good for the sport or the business and they are allowing the manufacturers to have identities again.

I will be at the Daytona 500 this year
