Ford Moves NASCAR Aerodynamics Program In-House

In a story at GoRacing that can be termed related to the above story: Beginning October 1st, Ford Motor Company will take all NASCAR aerodynamic engineering operations in-house. This change marks a departure from the “norm” where an independent engineer handled such items for the teams directly at the track. Ford, who had been looking at bringing their “aero” operations in-house, was forced to move on the project after long-time engineer Lewis Duncan decided to move on to other challenges within the business.
