When you think of Rusty Wallace, Midnight is THE car. From 1992 to 1994, merely uttering the world “Midnight” in the NASCAR garage was enough to strike fear in the hearts of drivers and teams. During that span, Wallace and Midnight simply dominated the NASCAR circuit. Together, they captured an astonishing 13 wins (41.9%), 25 top-five finishes (80.6%) and 27 top-ten (87.1%) finishes in a 31-race span, as well as leading 3,918 of 12,001 possible laps (31.4%) during the period. The legendary Wallace was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on his first ballot in 2013. Upon his election, Wallace’s eldest son, Greg, headed an effort—with support from Penske Racing, MillerCoors and Ford Motor Company—to restore Midnight to its 1994 trim for Rusty’s NASCAR Hall of Fame exhibit. A conversion from Midnight’s 1998 Ford Taurus body, back to its 1994 Ford
Thunderbird skin and its iconic Miller Genuine Draft livery was thus undertaken by a group of former Penske Racing employees.
Afterward, Midnight rightfully appeared on static display at the NASCAR Hall of Fame—as the centerpiece of Wallace’s induction exhibit—before returning to his personal collection. The car has subsequently been returned to its 1994 “race-ready” condition. It features an authentic, period correct Ford “C3” engine, built on an actual Penske Racing block, producing approximately 750 horsepower.
