MoneyLion and Ford Performance Unveil Another New 2019 Ford Mustang GT Built by Team Penske Driver Austin Cindric and Hot Rod Aficionados Dave and Dom Tucci for the “HERE WE ROAR” Sweepstakes
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — MoneyLion, the mobile bank that created America’s most powerful financial membership, and Ford Performance unveiled the latest of three custom-built 2019 Ford Mustang GTs as part of the MoneyLion HERE WE ROAR Sweepstakes.
Designed and built by Team Penske NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Austin Cindric and performance car influencers Dave and Dom Tucci of Tucci Hot Rods, this new 725-horsepower Mustang celebrates the legacy of three families with profound heritage in both racing and performance cars.
“Racing is in my blood because it’s been a part of my family for generations, starting with my grandfather and racing team owner, Jim Trueman,” said Austin Cindric. “Upon meeting the father and son duo, Dave and Dom Tucci of Tucci Hot Rods, I was immediately drawn to their own family legacy in performance cars and overwhelmed by their passion and purpose for their work. And there’s not a more humbling and historic legacy in racing and high-performance cars than the Ford Mustang, the iconic car we had the privilege of enhancing and reimaging for one lucky fan to win.”
The MoneyLion HERE WE ROAR Sweepstakes, which launched in April and featured the first custom-built and 700-horsepower Ford Mustang GT, designed and built by Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and Joey Logano, gives motorsports fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of three custom-built 2019 Ford Mustang GTs.
Now through October 20, 2019, fans can register for a chance to win one of the custom-built 2019 Ford Mustang GTs in the HERE WE ROAR Sweepstakes by visiting the Sweepstakes entry page or by sending a text message with the word “ROAR” to 95615 to receive a link to the website. Three winners will be flown with a guest to Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, November 15-17, 2019, to receive their car. Upon completion of a sweepstakes entry, entrants can earn additional entries by joining MoneyLion’s free zero-fee checking account. See website for complete official rules and eligibility.
“This new, custom-built and 725-horsepower 2019 Ford Mustang we designed with Austin is an inspired throwback to Austin’s grandfather’s race car of the early 1980s,” said Dom Tucci. “We used the retro racing stripes featured on his grandfather’s IMSA sports car and seamlessly updated them to have a more modern look and feel. We also included other small but memorable elements, including a visual representation of his grandfather’s racing gloves on the shift boot and a one-of-a-kind ‘Legacy’ emblem designed to celebrate the Cindric, Tucci and Ford families.”
The brand new, one-of-a-kind 725-horsepower 2019 Ford Mustang GT, features a Hellion Turbo Twin Kit, ISC Coilovers, Rotiform BUC Wheels, and Anderson Composites carbon fiber front splitter, rear wing, side skirt, decklid panel, and grill. The car was modified for top performance including handmade custom side-exit exhaust and a rear diffuser. Dave and Dom Tucci also used 3D printed accessories, including hood vents and “Legacy” side emblems.
MoneyLion created the HERE WE ROAR Mustang build-off video series so fans can see how the cars are built from scratch by the Team Penske drivers and the world-class performance car influencers with whom they partnered. The series consists of several original episodes documenting each build in its entirety and takes fans inside the garages where the cars were custom-built and behind the scenes at the NASCAR races where they will be unveiled.
The new episode featuring Austin and Dave and Dom Tucci is now available to watch, along with the first three episodes of the HERE WE ROAR Mustang build-off video series featuring 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) Champion Logano, and World Champion Drifter and founder of RTR Motorsports, Gittin Jr., on the Sweepstakes entry page.
