Dale Jarrett Ford

It's pretty clear we're big NASCAR fans at Dale Jarrett Ford. So naturally, we were excited when Ford debuted some new commercials featuring the 2013 Ford Taurus with Carl Edwards, who pushed the new Ford sedan to the limits with some engineers riding along. The reason for our excitement was two-fold; not only did we get to see one of NASCAR's most popular drivers in an ad, but we're hoping it changed some people in the greater Charlotte area's opinion on the new Taurus and its level of performance.

When it comes to going green, creating the right mix of technological ingredients is essential. Take Ford EcoBoost for example. EcoBoost engines are so successful because they combine a 20-percent improvement in fuel-economy with a 15-percent CO² reduction. Sprinkle in a bit of extra torque and horsepower and what do you get? One very satisfied, green driver.
