Gen 4 Ford Taurus - 2003 (G4FT)

logo for Gen 4 Ford Taurus - 2003

The fourth generation of NASCAR vehicles competed from 1992 to 2007, making the move from more stock parts to primarily steel bodies. It coincided with some of the biggest moments in NASCAR history, launched the careers of many of its most legendary drivers, and remains immensely popular with its former racers and fans alike.

The Ford Taurus took over for the Thunderbird in time for the 1998 season, and the car received a facelift in 2000. For 2003, the car took its first win with Dale Jarrett in the second race of the season at Rockingham, and Matt Kenseth scored his only win of the season the next week in Las Vegas. Kenseth took the points lead for good the next week in Atlanta on the way to his only NASCAR Cup Series title.
