ive finalists have been chosen from more than 300 designs submitted
this summer by JDRF children with type 1 diabetes, as part of a charity contest to design the paint scheme for the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang Nitro Funny Car driven by Bob Tasca III.
Voting
ended on Friday, August 14, and the top five donation-earning designs
are in front of a panel of Ford judges for final selection. The winning
design will be featured on Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang Shelby during
the NHRA Carolinas Nationals in Concord, NC, on September 18-20.
“Any
of the top five designs will look great on the Motorcraft/Quick Lane
Mustang, and that will make selecting one very difficult,” said Brett
Wheatley, Director of Marketing, Ford Customer Service Division. “The
goal of the Funny Car Design Contest was to help raise awareness for
JDRF. I think we accomplished our goal because our generous race fans
donated more than $39,000.”
