Ganassi Planning Switch to Ford for 2014 - USCC

Interesting . . . and good news for FMC in USCC next season! Pruett back in a Ford!

The most successful team in Daytona Prototype history is poised for a radical switch to a new engine partner for 2014.

Multiple industry sources have confirmed to Sportscar365 that Chip Ganassi Racing is preparing to run Ford’s new EcoBoost powerplants in next year’s TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.

Details of the arrangement have not yet been made clear but the likely deal to move to the Blue Oval is believed to have been up to two months in the making.

This is pretty interesting, always thought Ganassi was fairly anti-Ford. Good luck to the team next year.

definitely didn't see this coming but a good thing for Ford. especially since they lost Starworks mid season to BMW.

Starting next season in the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, CGRwFS will field the Telcel-sponsored No. 01 Riley-Ford utilizing the brand's 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and Ford's new DP bodywork. Multiple Rolex Series champions Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas will continue their longstanding partnership as the team takes on primary development responsibilities for the EcoBoost turbo program.
