5 of the Most Iconic Drivers in Ford NASCAR History
The Ford Motor Company has been successful in auto racing since the sport’s earliest inception, but this is especially true when it comes to NASCAR, America’s longest-running motorsports league.
Since the manufacturer’s first NASCAR Cup Series Championship was brought home by Buck Baker in 1956, a Ford race car has won NASCAR’s most prestigious award 13 times. That number extends to 22 when you consider other Ford-affiliated brands throughout history such as Mercury and Lincoln.
