"We are really excited to deliver these new Mustangs to their new owners," said series director Lynda Randall. "The response to the series has been phenomenal, and I know that people are anxious to get their hands on these cars so they can get ready to go racing."
"The series launch event should be both fun and informative, and will be a great kick-off to what we hope will be a very competitive inaugural season."
