In the early ’60s, his Rhode Island Ford dealership started building race cars, putting its own drivers in them, and beating the Chevys at the drag strip. Then he sold those same cars to the kids who watched them win. That’s where “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” comes from.\nJames Pumphrey, Vin Anatra and Zach Redpath tell the story of how one dealer pushed Ford into building drag cars anyone could buy, from the factory-built Thunderbolt to the King of the Road project that became the Cobra Jet. Three generations later, the Tasca name is still racing Fords in NHRA, and it’s still winning.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/va8XRB5PcxBKjcDJm0-LZ0bsSnx1EzizsnV8m_Nfhpg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZjI2/ZDhiOGU3ODAzZmU0/MTdjMGJkZWRmZWU2/MjRmMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
