The Ford Mustang has had a long-standing reputation of being a classic sports car with pure muscle and horsepower. The launch of the Mach-E 1400, recently tested by Joey Logano and some other NASCAR drivers, proved to be quite an experience for them.
The Team Penske driver along with the likes of Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney, Hailie Deegan, and others got the chance to test the car. Safe to say, every driver felt the sheer power of the inbuilt 7 electric motors and the handling of the vehicle.
Logano also put out a post on his account on Instagram, highlighting him driving the car. His post’s caption read, “The #FordMustang #MachE1400 did not disappoint! Well done @fordperformance!”

All NASCAR drivers had positive first impressions of Ford’s latest vehicle
Blaney voiced his opinion and stated, “I just didn’t know what to expect. I figured it being 1400 horsepower I’m like, ‘Huh I wonder what that feels like.’ And it felt every bit of that.”
Driving at the Virginia International Raceway, all the drivers took turns to experience the Mach-E 1400. Father-daughter duo Brian and Hailie Deegan were also present, and the latter felt the straight-line braking was ‘amazing’.
Expressing her thoughts, Deegan said, “Your stomach almost drops because there’s so much power. The straight-line power is crazy and the straight-line braking is amazing too.”

NASCAR cars generally have horsepower capacities of up to 700 units or so. So naturally, driving a car that expended energy of 1400 horsepower was a bit of a different experience for these drivers.
