GURNEY IS FORD’S ALL-TIME ROAD COURSE WINNER There are three current drivers who have won a NASCAR Cup Series race on a road course with Ford. The most recent winner was Ryan Blaney, who captured the inaugural event at the Charlotte Roval in 2018. Kevin Harvick, who goes into this weekend with 25 career Ford victories in just over six years, got his first with the Blue Oval in 2017 when he won at Sonoma. Joey Logano scored his Cup victory at Watkins Glen International in 2015, which completed a weekend sweep after he won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race one day earlier.īesides the drivers mentioned above, Ford has six other active Cup competitors who have won on a road course in either the NASCAR Cup, NASCAR Xfinity or NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Brad Keselowski (Watkins Glen NXS with Ford, 2013) Chris Buescher (Mid-Ohio NXS with Ford, 2014) Michael McDowell (Road America NXS, 2016) Austin Cindric (NXS wins with Ford at Watkins Glen, 2019 Mid-Ohio, 2019 Road America, 2020, Daytona Road Course, 2020 and Indianapolis Road Course, 2021) Chase Briscoe (NXS wins with Ford at Charlotte Roval, 2018 and Indianapolis Road Course, 2020) and Todd Gilliland (Circuit of the Americas NCTS with Ford, 2021). Logano carries a one-point championship lead into Circuit of The Americas. Logano, who simultaneously won his first points race of the season, is now tied with Dale Jarrett for fourth with 30 victories. Last week’s victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway helped Joey Logano eclipse the top-five on the Ford all-time Cup wins list.
