BOSS 302R: TRACK TEST LOOKS GOOD

1/14/2010

 

THIS WEEK IN FORD RACING

 

Dearborn, Mich. — This past weekend, the BOSS 302R was on track at the Grand-Am preseason test at Daytona International Speedway. With less than two weeks until the start of the 2010 season, the test stood as a critical milestone in the progress of the highly anticipated BOSS 302R.

 

Ford Racing unveiled the BOSS 302R in mid-December, introducing the next generation of its highly successful turnkey production-based race cars. The new car is named the BOSS 302R in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Parnelli Jones’ 1970 Trans Am championship in the original BOSS 302. The new BOSS 302R will replace the highly successful Mustang FR500C, which has won three triple crown championships (driver, team and manufacturer titles in its five-year run in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series (formerly known as Koni Challenge).

 

Andy Slankard was on hand to observe the test and he offered these thoughts regarding the BOSS 302R test and the car’s development.

 

ANDY SLANKARD – FORD RACING ENGINEERING SUPERVISOR

LAST WEEKEND WAS AN ON TRACK TEST FOR THE BOSS 302R AT DAYTONA. HOW DID THINGS GO?

“Things went better than expected. In fact it went great. We have a brand new 5.0 Liter engine in our all new BOSS 302R and all new 2011 Mustang body work, which is new for this class. We brought out two cars and while we had a few little teething issues, we were mainly near or at the top of the charts the whole weekend, so we are very happy with the results.”
