I was wondering why the new Ford Fusion didn't make pace car for the Daytona 500 race next weekend. Instead, Chevrolet was picked as pace car for the Daytona 500. Toyota was picked last year as the pace car. The sad news is that Ford was ONLY picked once in 40 years of pace cars at the Daytona 500. It was in 2011. I tried to dig up the voting procedure but was unable to find their criteria.
