On the Car
The No. 6 Mustang carries the Ford EcoBoost colors this weekend at Iowa Speedway. Ford EcoBoost technology combines smaller overall size with turbocharging, direct injection and variable valve timing to bring customers outstanding performance and fuel economy.
Recapping Indianapolis Motor Speedway
In his first visit to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Wallace suffered a flat tire early in his No. 6 Ford EcoBoost Mustang. The team was unable to overcome the lost lap, ultimately finishing the day in 23rd.

Bubba Wallace on racing at Iowa Speedway
“I’m ready to get back to Iowa with the Ford EcoBoost colors. We had a top-10 performance last time we were here, and we are looking to turn that into a top-five and competing for the win. I’m going to focus on ride quality through the bumps and maximize on drive off.”
