Multimatic Motorsports Mustang Boss 302R - Click above for high-res image gallery
Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) has been quite successful in Grand-Am's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, most recently winning the championship in 2009 (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/12/ford-mustang-captures-grand-am-koni-challenge-and-speed-world-ch/) with the FR500C Mustang. Last year, Ford Racing introduced the Mustang Boss 302R (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/28/new-ford-racing-mustang-boss-302r-is-potential-personified/) into the series, but as with any new race car, it had various kinks and bugs to work through. The Boss 302R ended the 2010 race season without a victory, and the championship went to the BMW M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3).
Things are looking up once again for the Mustang, however, with the Mustang Boss 302R taking its first victory this past weekend at Barber Motorsports park. Multimatic Motorsports drivers Scott Maxwell and Joe Foster brought home the win, while the Roush Boss 302R of Jack Roush Jr. finished in third place. The Multimatic Motorsports team is currently five points behind Turner Motorsports and its BMW M3.
You can read full details about the Boss 302R's first victory in the press release after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/11/ford-mustang-boss-302r-captures-first-grand-am-victory/#continued), or hit up the gallery below for your full of high-res road racing pony cars.
