Yokohama named official tire of new Mustang Cup series

Yokohama Tire has been named as the official tire of the Mustang Cup, a new six-round race series sanctioned by USAC. The series debuts in April 2025 at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, Los Angeles.

The race-ready Ford Performance-engineered Mustang Dark Horse R will use Yokohama’s Advan A005 slicks or A006 wet racing tires. Specific to the Mustang Cup is the optional two-driver format. Each race in a doubleheader format will count toward separate championships – the Miles Cup and Parnelli Cup – enabling two-driver teams to chase separate championships or one driver to compete in both.

Each Mustang Cup will feature two 15-minute qualifying sessions and two 40-minute races with one qualifying session and one race dedicated to each championship. “Yokohama is proud to be the exclusive spec tire and supplier for the inaugural Mustang Cup season,” said Andrew Briggs, Yokohama Tire’s VP of marketing and product management.

“This new partnership with Ford Performance highlights our shared commitment to motorsports excellence. It’s exciting to see how our Advan A005s enhance the performance and handling of the extraordinary Mustang Dark Horse R,” said Patricia Wall, Yokohama’s motorsports senior manager.

“Yokohama brings a remarkable team of engineers to the table,” added Kevin Groot, Ford Performance Motorsports sports car programs manager. “They are out there at the track with us, working with us, to create the product that we need. We are super excited to partner with them.”

“We are very excited to continue our long-standing partnership with Yokohama Tire as the exclusive tire provider for the new Mustang Cup Series,” said Kevin Miller, president and CEO of USAC.

“Yokohama has consistently delivered exceptional performance, reliability and innovation, which are critical to the competitive edge and safety of our drivers. Their commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with the spirit of the Mustang Cup, and we look forward to building on this collaboration as we embark on this exciting new chapter.”

First race of the 2025 Mustang Cup will happen from April 11 to April 13, at NOLA Motorsports Park, California, and the last race will take place between November 7 and November 9, at Virginia International Raceway, Alton, Virginia.
