An inside look at our race weekend at Circuit of The Americas 🏁

Our Paley Motorsport with AAG Racing team battled all weekend long and worked tirelessly to put our Ford Mustang Dark Horse R’s in position for success 🐎

Chris Clarke earned his first victory of the season in Race 1 and did everything he could do to have a chance at the Dark Horse Legends title. For Ryan Persing, the season finale didn’t end the way he wanted after dealing with mechanical issues. The No. 29 Paley Motorsport with AAG Racing crew worked late into the night/morning after Race 1 to get Ryan’s car race ready for Race 2 on Sunday 🔧

Through the highs and lows, this team never gives up and their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed 💪

A huge thank you to all of our crew, our drivers, our supporters, Ford Racing, IMSA, and our amazing partners that make this all possible 👏

Daytona will be here before we know it for the start of the 2027 Mustang Challenge North America season! 🙌

A great time was had last night at the Mustang Challenge season end celebration 🎉

Ryan Persing capped of his first season racing the Dark Horse R with two top-five finishes and gained valuable seat time 🏁

Thank you to everyone on our Paley Motorsport with AAG Racing team for all of their hard work and dedication, putting together fast Ford Mustang Dark Horse R’s all year! 👏

A special thank you to Ford Racing, IMSA, Michelin, and the team at Campbell Marketing and Communications for all that they do for our teams and the series as a whole!

Lastly, this wouldn’t be possible without our drivers, supporters, and valued partners. We appreciate each and every one of you!
