Fusion NASCAR entry debuted by Ford

On Thursday Ford introduced the press to its Fusion NASCAR entry that will first touch rubber to racetrack in next season's Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. Dale Jarrett has been tapped to test the car next month at Atlanta Motor Speedway while NASCAR finishes certification of the vehicle. I've said before that I'm not huge into NASCAR, but I gotta say that seeing the designs of modern-day vehicles shrink-wrapped over a NASCAR-approved body is ridiculous. The grille and headlight decals seem to do nothing but place another advertisement on the body of a vehicle that's already got more than a double-anniversary issue of Cosmo.

There's a large pic of the nose after the jump.
