*TASCA FORD TO HOST 12TH ANNUAL MUSTANG & LIVE MUSIC EVENT ON
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER
12*



CRANSTON, RI – September 3, 2009 – Bob Tasca III first caught sight of a
Mustang many years ago in his grandfather’s Ford dealership and fell in love
with the pony car.



Now as the driver of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang Nitro Funny
Car and Vice President of Tasca Automotive Group in Rhode Island, Bob Tasca
III, along with his grandfather, Bob Tasca Sr., are hosting the 12th Annual
Mustang and Live Music Event on Saturday, September 12 from 10am to 4pm at
the Tasca Automotive Group in Cranston, RI.



“This is the 12th Annual Mustang show and food drive that we’ve done at our
dealership,” said Tasca.  “It’s a car show with some of the finest Fords on
the east coast. We’ve had people from Florida, Virginia and even Michigan
that drive out to put their car on display.”



Over the past 12 years the event has grown in both display vehicles and
attendance.  In addition to the Mustang car show, Tasca has invited some of
his fellow Ford Racing family members to participate in the day’s
activities.  Special guests at this year’s show include the entire
Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team, 14-time NHRA Funny Car Champion John
Force, two-time 2009 race winner Tim Wilkerson, Eddie and Len Wood,
co-owners of Wood Brothers Racing and the legendary No. 21 Ford, and four
generations of the Tasca family.



Admission to the 12th Annual Mustang & Live Music Event is two
non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the Rhode Island Food
bank.  In previous years, the show has donated more than 10,000 pounds of
food to the local food bank.



 “A lot of Rhode Islanders don’t get to experience what we do every week
because there isn’t a track that is real close, so we’ll fire -up the
Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang at the dealership,” said Tasca.  “The
fans at NHRA they know what to expect, but you’ll see thousands of people
surrounding the Mustang and then we hit the throttle.  It’s like an
earthquake.  Everyone jumps two feet off the ground.  It’s fun for me to
bring our Shelby Mustang Funny Car to Rhode Island, to my hometown and at
the same time help such a worthwhile cost with the Rhode Island Food Bank.”
