Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/27/2014-ford-f-150-tremor-adds-some-sport-to-shake-things-up/) will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nascar+camping+world+truck+series/) at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/) lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.

Where the F-150 Raptor (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150+svt+raptor/) is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost/) is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.

Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/brad+keselowski/) behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.Continue reading Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/14/ford-f150-tremor-nascar-pace-car/)
