The penultimate event on the Michelin Pilot Challenge calendar will see the team debut a new Ford Mustang at the legendary Brickyard<\/em><\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (September 16, 2025) \u2013 The Racing to End Alzheimer’s with Stephen Cameron Racing team looks to finish the Michelin Pilot Challenge season strong, bringing a new Ford Mustang to the penultimate series event, the two-hour Indianapolis Motor Speedway 120 (Saturday at 12:40 p.m. ET on Peacock).<\/p>\n

The team will debut a new No. 19 Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s Ford Mustang chassis this weekend (one that drivers Sean Quinlan and Greg Liefooghe tested several weeks ago at Road Atlanta), aiming for the elusive first victory on the season. To accomplish that at Indy would check off a bucket list item for drivers and team alike: as Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s founder Phil Frengs notes, few experiences compare to racing at the legendary Brickyard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion \u2013 and not just my opinion, clearly \u2013 Indy is the cathedral of racing in the U.S.,\u201d said Frengs. \u201cThere is so much history, you get goosebumps just walking in. When you\u2019re standing on the yard of bricks, looking at the grandstands which seem to go on forever, and then turning around and looking at the famous pagoda, it’s just a very, very special feeling: I never get tired of it. There are so many fans walking around, and they’re so knowledgeable. We can\u2019t wait for the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liefooghe has raced at Indy numerous times and hopes to one day enjoy the fruits of victory on the track many drivers can only dream of.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe history is so deep there,\u201d said Liefooghe. \u201cIt’s always been a dream to be able to kiss the bricks, but there’s always been something that happened to us late in the race that prevented us from being able to put our name in the record books. It\u2019s a very tricky track, with tight corners that invite drivers to perhaps be a little bit optimistic. It\u2019s hard to get a good run out of corners when you’re behind a car, because there are really only two passing zones: turn one and the end of the back straight, and it\u2019s tough to time runs to get a good passing opportunity at the end of the straights.\u201d<\/p>\n

As always, the on-track action is only part of the story for Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s, as the race car carries the names of nearly 150 people who have suffered from dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s, placed there by family and friends who want to honor their legacy.<\/p>\n

The No. 19 Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s Mustang gives families the chance to honor loved ones who have suffered from Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other forms of dementia. For a $250 donation, the family member\u2019s name and hometown is placed on the car, and their photo can be posted on the Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s website\u2019s tribute page. All donations are matched by Frengs\u2019 company Legistics, with 100% going to the program\u2019s two beneficiaries \u2013 the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist, and the UCLA Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Care Program.<\/p>\n

To date, Racing to End Alzheimer\u2019s has donated over $1 million to those two programs.<\/p>\n
