This car, Roush Racing Chassis No. RR28-RK050, made history. Jeff Burton led all 300 laps to win the Dura Lube 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway in this car on September 17, 2000. He also won the CarsDirect.com 400 in it at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway that season and hammered this car home to victory lane at the season’s longest race the following year—the 2001 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This car is powered by a Roush Racing 358 CI Ford V-8 engine with dry sump plumbing, a dual-feed Holley carburetor and MSD 6T ignition.
The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, and the Taurus body hosts Citgo livery—including the Bassmaster Tournament Trail sponsorship emblem—in blue, white and red. Inside is the roll cage, ButlerBuilt Professional Seat Systems racing seat with Simpson racing harness, AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite gauges and Ultra-Lite Memory tachometer, Roush toggle panel, fire suppression system, and custom shifter knob. Slowed by 4-wheel Brembo disc brakes with slotted rotors, this Ford still rides on 15-inch steel race wheels in black and lightly scuffed yellow-letter Goodyear Eagle radial race tires. First from start to finish or in for the long run, this car did it all.
