The FR500C has a strong record of success on the 3.56-mile oval-based road course, having won in its debut KONI appearance at the track in 2005. The Ford Mustang went on to help David Empringham and his Multimatic team win the '05 Grand-Am Cup Driver, Team and Manufacturer Championships.
Showing that it has both speed and staying power, the FR500C once again locked up the trio of championships in 2008 as Hypersport drivers Joe Foster and Scott Maxwell scored the championship laurels for Ford.
"I really think Andrew is one of the best up and coming racers in this country," said Click, who brings his Ford passion right to his own garage with a new Mustang GT500 KR. "I don't think Andrew will have any problem making the move to the FR500S. This young man just so smooth and so good, he can drive anything. He did a great job this year taking the Championship, and so long as I can keep the car out of trouble and turn it over to him on the lead lap, we should be in great shape at Daytona!"
The Caddell-Click pairing will see the two take on one of the largest fields in racing as the three-hour enduro combines both GS and ST class runners as two Mustang Challenge competitors become KONI teammates.
