In the Cup Series, the Mustang has triumphed in the coveted crown jewel events, including the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Brickyard 400, and Southern 500. Joey Logano's championship-winning drive in 2022 further solidified the Mustang's reputation.

Joey Logano, who experienced the thrill of victory in the Mustang, expressed his admiration for the menacing appearance of the Mustang Dark Horse. He confidently believes that if the car looks as formidable on the track as it does in the unveil, it will be even more impressive when it crosses the finish line in victory lane.
