Yokohama Tire Corp. has been named the official tire of the Mustang Cup, a new six-round race series sanctioned by the United States Auto Club.
The series debuts April 11-13 at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, La. Each Ford Mustang Dark Horse R will ride on Yokohama’s Advan A005 slicks or A006 wet racing tires.
“Yokohama is proud to be the exclusive spec tire and supplier for the inaugural Mustang Cup season,” says Andrew Briggs, vice president of marketing and product manager for Yokohama Tire.
“This new partnership with Ford Performance highlights our shared commitment to motorsports excellence. It’s exciting to see how our Advan A005s enhance the performance and handling of the extraordinary Mustang Dark Horse R.”
Unique to the Mustang Cup is the optional two-driver format. Each race is in a doubleheader format counting towards separate championships – the Miles Cup and the Parnelli Cup.
