Ford Performance has today unveiled the new Mustang for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series based on the Mustang Dark Horse®.

Mustang Dark Horse is the next link in Ford's current Mustang era in NASCAR that dates back to 2011.

After a mediocre NASCAR season with its current Mustang, Ford Performance said Wednesday it will use its top-of-the-line Dark Horse in the Cup Series next year. The Dark Horse is considered the blue-ribbon model of the Mustang lineup, with a starting price tag for consumers close to $60,000. Joey Logano won the Cup title last year in the Mustang and Ryan Blaney will be in a Ford on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway when he challenges for the championship in the final race for the current model.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Ryan Blaney began to doubt himself and his ability to compete at NASCAR's top level as he was mired in a 59-race losing streak and all his buddies he'd grown up racing against were thriving in the Cup Series.

Ryan Blaney began to doubt himself and his ability to compete at NASCAR's top level as he was mired in a 59-race losing streak and all his buddies he'd grown up racing against were thriving in the Cup Series. There was Chase Elliott, one of his best friends, who won the 2020 Cup title and is NASCAR’s five-time reigning most popular driver. Then there was Bubba Wallace, who Blaney grew up racing practically every week, freshly minted with a Michael Jordan-owned team built around him.
