The Nashville Superspeedway has announced that Ford will be the official pace car for its June 18-20 NASCAR  tripleheader weekend.

The weekend will also feature the inaugural Ally 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race on June 20.

“It’s cool that they’re on board here at Nashville and for them to start this track off as a Ford-branded track,” says N0. 14 Ford Stewart-Hass driver Chase Briscoe. “It’s cool whenever we go to a Ford track. The pace car is a Ford and there’s Ford signage everywhere and it feels like you’re more at home.”

Ford will also be the official pace car provider at Nashville Superspeedway’s sister track Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware.

“It’s an honor to be linked with such an iconic company as Ford as we continue to build toward our June race weekend,” says Nashville Superspeedway President Erik Moses. “Ford has a tremendous motorsports history and is a brand that connects with our fanbase here in Middle Tennessee. We can’t wait to see a Ford lead America’s best drivers to the green flag at Nashville Superspeedway on Father’s Day weekend!”

Ford earned its 17th NASCAR Cup Series manufacturer championship and second in the last three seasons after winning 18 races in 2020 while Austin Cindric captured the regular season and playoff championship in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

“It’s great to have Nashville Superspeedway back in NASCAR and we’re excited to serve as its official pace car,” says Jeannee Kirkaldy, Ford Performance’s motorsports marketing manager. “We have a wonderful partnership with Dover Motorsports and we’re ready to continue to play an integral role in their race weekends at Nashville and Dover. We have several exciting new vehicles in our Ford lineup and we’re looking forward to showcasing them at the track.”
