Ford ALMOST Made a "SuperBird" for NASCAR in 1996 With Lincoln Parts..Here's Why It Never Happened

What happens here

Don Miller, identified as the former President/Co-Owner of Penske NASCAR Team, sits in front of a white, unbranded stock car and begins to tell the story of "the car that never was." He explains that despite its physical existence, it never competed in a NASCAR race. The interviewer poses a question about how different their lives (and the world of NASCAR) might have been if this car had made it to the track.

Goal: Introduce the central subject of the historical narrative – a significant but un-raced NASCAR prototype.
