'Box Car Racer' is the only studio album by American post-hardcore band Box Car Racer. Produced by Jerry Finn, the album was released May 21, 2002 through MCA Records. The band was essentially a side-project of Blink-182 members Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, with David Kennedy completing the band’s studio lineup; bassist and friend of Kennedy, Anthony Celestino, toured with the band throughout late 2002.

The album peaked at number twelve on the Billboard 200, and the two singles "I Feel So" and "There Is" charted on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks. Despite receiving positive reviews on release. This is the last and only album from Box Car Racer after Delonge stating that the band "served it's purpose and is now defunct.".
