Fans to take the reins of SS Greenlight Mustang at Phoenix

SS Greenlight Racing has partnered with Fan Controlled Sports & Entertainment (FCSE) to provide fans the chance to interactively control the team's No. 08 Ford Mustang at Phoenix Raceway.

During the NASCAR Xfinity Series season finale Nov. 4, fans will have the chance to make decisions about race strategy and which lane to pick for a restart. Fans will also decide who will drive the car that weekend as well as its paint scheme.

The program is being called Fan Controlled Racing (FCR). Those participating will need to use the Control App for iOS and Android.

FCSE is the creator of Fan Controlled Football.

“We couldn’t be more excited about bringing the energy and interactivity of Fan Controlled Sports to the racetrack,” said FCSE co-founder Patrick Dees. “This will be the first of many live race experiences where fans get to call the shots, help determine the strategy, and be a part of the race team.”

In the lead-up to the race, a poll is now live for fans to vote on the driver. The drivers to choose from are Stefan Parsons, JJ Yeley, David Starr and Mason Massey.

“This sport is nothing without the fans,” Starr said. “So, getting them more involved on race day is the future.”

“Giving fans more control on race day is a wildly fun idea,” Yeley said.

The more fans use the Control App, it will allow them to earn Fan Experience Points. Those will earn the most will be rewarded with a chance to have their picture on the hood of the No. 08 for the Phoenix event and earn a VIP pass for race weekend.
