Continental Brings Enthusiasts Together at Mustang Week

Continental brought together some of the most recognizable voices in the Mustang enthusiast community to Mustang Week Charlotte 2026, creating a unique opportunity for fans to connect with fellow enthusiasts, see incredible builds up close, and celebrate the shared passion that unites Mustang owners across generations. 

This year, Continental took a different approach to its participation at one of North America’s largest Mustang gatherings. While the company has long supported the Mustang community with high-performance tires designed to deliver exceptional grip, handling, and confidence, Mustang Week is about more than products. It’s about the people behind the wheel. 

To bring that spirit to life, Continental introduced its Continental Mustang Crew, a group of respected automotive creators, builders, and enthusiasts who embody the passion and culture that make the Mustang community so special. 

The Continental Mustang Crew included: 

• Jason Fenske (Engineering Explained) 

• Ben Thorn (Gears and Gasoline) 

• Jakub Wrobel (The Straight Pipes) 

• Dario Girnus 

• Sami Luppacchino 

• Joe Deladvitch 

The crew took part in Mustang Week’s Track Day activities at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday,  August 27, showcasing the performance capabilities of their vehicles and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. On Friday and Saturday, their Mustangs were displayed in the Continental exhibit area during the event’s car show activities at zMAX Dragway. 

Throughout the event, Mustang fans had the opportunity to meet the creators, learn about their builds, discuss performance modifications, and hear firsthand what draws them to the Mustang community. 

“For years, Continental has been proud to support Mustang enthusiasts with tires that deliver the performance, confidence, and driving enjoyment they expect from their vehicles,” Brian Beierwaltes, Head of Marketing for US PLT, said. “This year, we wanted to focus on the people who make the community so special. The Continental Mustang Crew represents the passion, creativity, and enthusiasm that continue to drive Mustang culture forward, and we’re excited to help bring enthusiasts together during Mustang Week.” 

Visitors to the Continental booth also had the opportunity to explore some of the brand’s most popular enthusiast-focused tire offerings, including the ExtremeContact Force, ExtremeContact Sport 02, and ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus. 

In addition to meeting members of the Continental Mustang Crew and checking out featured builds, attendees had the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a set of Continental tires during the event.
