Two years prior to Ford Motor Company’s founding in 1903, Henry Ford was on a 1-mile oval dirt track in Southeastern Michigan. His 26-horsepower racecar Sweepstakes was up against the U.S. racing champion in a heavier but more powerful car. Ford wasn’t slated to win. He had no racing experience, and racing wasn’t even the dream.
Watching racers take on challenges and place first is exciting. The benefits extend further, from the racecourse to you.
