OPTIMA Batteries has announced an exciting new collaboration with the 2025 Ford Performance Mustang Challenge racing series that includes the debut of Tanner Foust’s new Mustang Dark Horse R race car.
The new sponsorship aims to strengthen OPTIMA Batteries’ growing partnership with Ford Performance and underscore OPTIMA’s commitment to innovation and performance. Every Mustang participating in the 2025 Mustang Challenge will be powered by an OPTIMA YELLOWTOP battery, highlighting OPTIMA’s continued efforts to bridge the gap between racing and real-world applications.
This collaboration highlights OPTIMA’s focus on powering performance and possibility – using motorsports at the highest level as a platform to push boundaries in low-voltage energy storage, with insights that inform the battery systems of tomorrow’s vehicles.
“Taking our technology from the racetrack to the real world is what OPTIMA is all about,” said Cam Douglass, director of marketing for OPTIMA Batteries. “Our goal is to continue to test YELLOWTOPs at the highest level of motorsports and take what we learn to perfect our offerings for enthusiasts and daily drivers.”
Among the field competing in the 2025 Mustang Challenge, race fans will find multi-time rally champion and motorsport icon Tanner Foust. He will debut the new OPTIMA emblazoned Mustang Dark Horse R at the Le Mans Invitational and participate in the Mustang Challenge throughout the season, representing OPTIMA Batteries. In addition to seeing him on the racetrack, Foust will also be part of a special one-hour documentary surrounding the Le Mans Invitational.
Fans can follow Tanner Foust and OPTIMA Batteries’ social media for the official debut of Foust’s new race car and behind-the-scenes updates at the Le Mans Invitational on June 11-14, 2025.
