Carroll Shelby Way

For more than half a century, Carroll Shelby inspired designers and engineers throughout the extended Ford family. As a teenager, Edsel Ford II worked for Shelby doing a variety of jobs including cleaning transmission parts. Countless engineers crossed paths with Shelby over the years, from those who crafted the original GT40 to those working on the 2013 Shelby GT500. Up until his death, Carroll Shelby remained committed to developing great performance cars.

Even at the age of 88, he spent more than five hours driving the most AMBROSE MAKES IT powerful production Mustang ever BACK-TO-BACK CUP during engineering validation sessions at Sebring and the Arizona Proving WINS AT WATKINS GLEN

We had a great strategy and 17th – Scott Speed got it to where we could hold on to our 18th – position at the end, so I guess that 20th – David Gilliland was a good day.” THOUGHTS ON 22nd – WHERE YOU ARE IN THE POINTS? “I 25th – don’t know where anybody else 37th – Michael McDowell finished or what happened, but I’m 38th – Josh Wise glad we got a top 10.

I was watching the television monitor behind me and MARCOS AMBROSE – No. 9 the 2 got in the back of the 18 and Stanley Ford Fusion – “It was spun him, and I said, ‘This is the white absolutely chaos at the end. The three flag.’ I knew there was oil all over the cars were very evenly matched. Kyle bus stop because Sammy was on the got a head start on us there and I was other radio hollering, ‘There’s oil up trying to chase him and I burned my here! There’s oil up here!’ On tires off it and I really burned off the television it looked like both cars went brakes and I thought, ‘Man, I’m gonna through the grass and stayed off the be stuck here in second,’ and all of a race track so they could be on what sudden I’m starting to slide around in didn’t have oil. He did a great job. Him some oil and I couldn’t work out where and Brad, that was a show. I saw Brad it was coming from, whether it was as he got out of the car on pit road from my car or if it was on the track, and it was like he just won the race and then I saw Kyle backing up to us himself. He said, ‘That’s what racing is and then brake up past me, and it was supposed to be like.’ So it was absolutely crazy at the end. But just a exciting. I’m just proud of this guy, huge thank you to Richard Petty Richard and Sammy and everybody at Motorsports, Stanley, Ford and RPM who dug deep and fought hard. everyone on our program. It’s just a We had great pit stops today. We real thrill to be back in Victory Lane. worked really hard on that. Coming We earned it. We were up there with here last year our pit stops weren’t the big boys and led a lot of laps today that good and we changed some and we had to pass a lot of cars to get things up for the pit stops today and the win and we did it.” we picked up two to two-and-a-half RICHARD PETTY, Owner – No. 9 seconds on pit stops compared to what Stanley Ford Fusion – “It was kind of we had last year, so that was a gain unexpected at the end of the race. We and a positive. We made good had a good car. He ran good all day adjustments on the car, I feel like. He long. I think he was the excitement in was a little happier with the way it the race because he was about the went there, so we were in position. only one I saw pass anybody. He was You put yourself in position and you’re passing them as he’d catch them, but gonna win races and that’s what we at the end nobody knew what was did today.” going on. Marcos might have known a SAMMY JOHNS, Director of little bit about it, but the rest of us Competition – No. 9 Stanley Ford didn’t. They were slipping and sliding Fusion – “It’s a lot of fun. Todd and off the race track and we were just myself and everybody, we’ve been thankful we got back. Marcos stayed talking about this race for a while and with it all day. We started out and we just knew we had to come here looked at it and we were gonna have and not make mistakes. We’ve got to make one extra pit stop because of Marcos Ambrose driving the race car fuel, I think. Anyhow, everything fell and if we could just not make mistakes our way. The caution flag, the last one and have a good, solid day and put we didn’t need probably, but it made it him in position, he’d take care of the a lot more exciting at the end of the rest for us and, sure enough, he did. race.” We were in position at the end to take

Page 11 advantage of it and I can’t be any ‘All I want to do is be offline.’ If I can prouder. Like Todd said, he got out be offline, there’s a fair chance – and worked on his pit stops the last because up until that point it felt like it two weeks with the guys and switched was on the racing groove – so I some things around to benefit that, thought if I can just brake off the and I’m just really proud of everybody racing groove, I’ve got a chance to at Richard Petty Motorsports. It’s just whoa it up and then I’ll work it out a lot of fun to be part of it right now. A from there. I turned in and slid lot of guys are pulling on the rope in through the oil and I thought I had the same direction and working hard blown my chance in turn six, and then and it’s just a lot of fun to be part of it. I got good drive because I went over We’ve been in position to have some the curb and I shot back up the inside more top fives this year. We haven’t of Brad and put him on the oil and capitalized, but we did today so then he slid on the oil and we snuck hopefully this is a good look at the through for the win. But he couldn’t next half of the season and we’ll see the oil. You just couldn’t see where capitalize on those.” it was at. If it was a black streak, it would be OK. It was almost like a fine spray and just really hard to pick. I was the first one to start sliding on it for whatever reason. My line, I slid into turn one and I slid up the hill, and then I slid through the bus stop and allowed Brad to get past me, and I thought I was blowing up. I thought it was my oil, not knowing what was really going on, and it wasn’t until I saw Kyle and Brad sliding as well that I thought, ‘OK, there’s something

down here on the track and we’re just MARCOS AMBROSE gonna have to deal with it.’ But I think CONTINUED – WHAT DO YOU RECALL a big shout out goes to NASCAR. A lot AFTER BRAD HIT KYLE AND HE SPUN? of guys are gonna say, ‘Should they “I didn’t know Brad hit Kyle. I thought have thrown a caution or should they Kyle got loose first on some oil, so you not?’ No one wants to see these races can’t blame Brad for hitting Kyle. The finish under caution or bunch back up guy was sliding across the track, he in these two-by-twos and making a was gonna spin out and Brad finished random finish. We had the three him off. I’m like, ‘Man, there’s one, fastest cars duking it out for the win I’ve got one more to go.’ I went up and that’s the way it should be. I think over the hill there and I thought I was they made the right call.” gonna hit the fence and kept it off the CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW FATE wall and then we get down to the HAS SMILED ON YOU HERE? “Well, chicane and I’m like, ‘Well, I’m just she’s been frowning on my all year, so gonna follow Brad because he’ll see it’s nice to get a change. Like Todd the oil before I do and I might be able said, you’ve just got to put yourself in to save myself,’ and I went straight off good positions and wins will come. the track with him. That wasn’t a good That’s what we did today. We had a plan, so then I dove to the inside fast car. We were in position to take thinking I was gonna get off the oil advantage when it went crazy and we that way and slid through it through got the win. We didn’t luck into it. We the carousel and then he slid through deserved to get this win and we’ll take it afterwards, so then when I got some it.” momentum on him I gave him a shot RICHARD PETTY CONTINUED – there to try and clear him away and DID THAT BRING BACK ANY we sailed off into turn six and I’m like, MEMORIES OF YOU AND DAVID

Page 12 PEARSON? “Yeah, but not on a road down and just kept trying and made course (laughing). You get down to the less mistakes than the other two I last of the race. I know some of you guess.” old guys remember me and Allison IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED ONE used to do a lot of beating and bashing MORE WIN TO GET IN THE CHASE? the last two or three laps – me and WHERE IS IT COMING? “Next week. Pearson have been in a couple of We got the pole at Michigan. We were different ones. I’ve been in there with running top five all day there. There’s a lot of them, I’ll put it that way. You no reason why we can’t go there and go and you run and you do the best surprise them again.” you can and then you try to take HAVE YOU EVER RACED IN advantage of the circumstances that THOSE CONDITIONS BEFORE? “I have are there. That’s what Marcos did raced in those conditions before, but today. He didn’t create any of those not when there’s so much at stake. circumstances, he took advantage of We’re racing NASCAR Sprint Cup those circumstances. So we’ve been in Series here and wins are hard to come some of them before like that.” by, so it’s just a lot of pressure and MARCOS AMBROSE CONTINUED you’re up against the best drivers in – IF THE OIL DOESN’T HAPPEN COULD the world. I’ve got to take a second YOU HAVE PASSED KYLE? “If we had here to say and Kyle track position at the end there, we Busch are two of the best road racers would have pulled away from Kyle.
