Am Racing Pulls Out, Ford's Lone Mustang

0:00It's April 1st, welcome to F1 News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Em racing just pulled out of this weekend's NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts series race at Rockingham, leaving fans scratching their heads. Nick Sanchez was supposed to pilot their number 25 Ford Mustang, the same ride he's had all season long in 2026. No official reason dropped yet, but it's a shock since they've hit every O'Reilly race so far. The teams had a mixed bag this year, one stand out third place finish for Sanchez at Atlanta, but otherwise, nothing better than 25th in the first seven outings. That puts him 25th in driver points right now. They've also thrown a second car into a few races with Daniel Die behind the wheel. Word on the street is, this hit Sanchez hard, capping off a rough stretch where he lost his full-time gig with big machine racing in the offseason. And barely locked in this AM deal before the green flag. No big reactions from the paddock yet, but it shrinks the entry list to 38 cars, so nobody's sitting out.

1:01Now, with AM gone, there's just one Ford squad rolling in. Hitting a racing's number 25 Mustang with JJ Yelly driving. Dig deeper, and AM had a playoff qualifier last year with Harrison Burton finishing 13th in owner standings, but a planned asset sale to Sigma. Performance services cratered before this season. Looks like turbulence ahead for AM as they regroup, but rocking ham still prime for some high speed action without missing a beat.
