AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Five races into NASCAR's 2024 season and Ford is in a funk.
Make no mistake, the Ford cars have been fast, just not quite fast enough to produce any wins yet. At the race in Atlanta, the razor-thin margins at the finish meant 0.003 seconds was the difference between first and third.
But winning is what counts the most and Ford drivers are searching for answers to break the drought as NASCAR holds its first road race of the season Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas.
"Been close to a couple of (wins)," said last season's Cup series champion Ryan Blaney, who just missed out on the victory in Atlanta and has three top-five finishes. “I don't really get into panic mode too easily. Just understand it is a long year."
