<b>"When you see</b> the Mustang, when you see the (Dodge) Challenger, you can tell that it's a Ford, and you tell that it's a Dodge," said Jamie Allison, director of Ford North America Motorsports.
Both race cars made their debuts earlier this month in the Nationwide event at Daytona.

Short's car has a 1250cc Yamaha engine and can reach speeds being between 95-100 mph.
