Championship Points

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Round 3 Racing, Cole Loftsgard and Tom Tait were crowned Mustang Challenge North America champions as the series closed out its season in Austin, Texas at Circuit of The Americas.

 

The battle for the two drivers’ championships came down to the final corners of the Ford Racing one-make series season finale. Devin Anderson took the lead from Loftsgard early in the race and remained in the lead to bring home his second Dark Horse win of the weekend, but by finishing second, Loftsgard scored enough points to come out on top in the Dark Horse championship. In Dark Horse Legends,  Tait started third and moved his way up to first position. He was dropped back to third after receiving a post-race penalty for incident responsibility, but a third-place finish was enough for him to clinch the Dark Horse Legends title. Round 3 Racing was crowned team champion after an impressive first year in the Mustang Challenge North America series with the team scoring 12 wins across the third season of Mustang Challenge North America.
