Ford appears to be readying a new NASCAR Cup car for 2027 as a car with familiar blue camouflage was spotted testing today during a Goodyear tire test at Charlotte Motor Speedway. That camo appears to match the customized wrap that we have seen on the Ford hypercar prototype overseas. Teams and manufacturers are testing at Charlotte ahead of a likely new intermediate tire for 2027.
Ford announced earlier this year that they planned to debut a new Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC at the 2027 Daytona 500 which is likely the car that was seen testing today at Charlotte.
