NASCAR had roof rails for quite awhile back before 2000.

Was that REALLY 19 years ago?!?!?
And on the Grand Prix model in question.


Oh, BTW Congrats on the new addition!

With the roof rails you'll notice better handling at 180 mph, especially in the corners...

Wow. That's weird seeing the #18 Interstate Batteries car as a Grand Prix. And washing the windshield instead of a tear-off sheet.
