Ford Motor Company touches the lives of people in every corner of the globe, not just by making and selling the most technologically advanced, reliable and fun-to-drive vehicles in the world, but by leading the way in manufacturing and business innovation.

Here is a brief look at some of our most significant successes.

A Lincoln (the luxury division of Ford) actually won the first ever NASCAR race, which was held at North Carolina’s Charlotte Speedway. The following year saw the first win in a Ford brand vehicle at Dayton Ohio.
Three Ford GTs scored a famous 1-2-3 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a legendary story captured in the 2019 movie Ford v Ferrari. Ford went on to win again in the two following years, arguably the most famous string of American racing victories in the history of the sport.
Ford has enjoyed tremendous success as an engine supplier to Formula One over the years, currently standing at an incredible 176 victories. The first of these wins came back in 1967 at the Dutch Grand Prix, with Jim Clark the victorious driver in the cockpit of the Lotus 49.
Trevor Bayne wins the Daytona 500 in a 1–2–3 finish for Ford. It was Ford’s 600th NASCAR victory.
