This car has been under our ownership since 2017. It was completely sorted for competition in 2017/18 - full engine rebuild, transmission replaced, new safety equipment, new axle, new battery, and many other replacement parts. All documents, including receipts, parts list, and race log books are categorized in the vehicle binder. The car is setup for road course racing and won the 2021 Historic Stock Car Division at the Master’s Invitational race held at Laguna Seca, CA. Its seen minimal track time in the last 5 years (5 weekends or so) and is turn-key ready to go. With a newborn and a business, we’re downsizing the racing… and this car is ready for a new home.

This #81 Ford Taurus driven by Kenny Wallace in the 1998 Winston Cup Series represents the 4th generation stock car raced between 1992-2007. Owned and operated by Filmar Racing, this was originally an intermediate/short track car, making starts at Phoenix, Martinsville, and Dover. This particular chassis’ (LRP 3473) best race came at the DuraLube/Kmart 500 at Phoenix, in which Kenny Wallace qualified 3rd and ultimately finished 8th. It also competed in the NAPA 500 at Martinsville, the famous race in which winner Ricky Rudd’ collapsed post-race due to heat exhaustion.
