RRC Update – The Foundation is Being Set

By now you have probably heard that the official name for the new club is ROUSH® Road Crew. It’s a fun name that will lend itself to lots of great automotive-related things as the program gets up and running.

But did you realize that the “Road” in ROUSH® Road Crew stands for “ROUSH® Owners and Drivers”… pretty cool, huh?

Daytona Race Quotes

Jack Roush Jr. and Billy Johnson talk about their season-opening Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race at Daytona International Speedway last Friday. Quotes courtesy of Ford Racing.

JACK ROUSH JR. – No. 61 Mustang, ROUSH® Performance – (finished 66th, qualified 4th) WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CAR GOING BEHIND THE WALL? “We had a little bit of contact with a car out there and I think it interfered with the cooling ducts, causing the oil and water temperatures to shoot up.”

BILLY JOHNSON – No. 61 ROUSH® Performance Mustang – (finished 66th, qualified 4th) “Unfortunately we weren’t able to finish but, Jack [Roush Jr.] showed a lot of speed. He was able to move up to second place and he did an awesome job. We wanted to have a better result, but we ran into some problems. I’m not sure what happened to the motor. The team is showing that the car is capable of doing well and we look forward to going to the next race to have that results show for it.”

Roush Showing Promise in Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge

Son of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner Jack Roush Sr. is proving his driving skills in GRAND-AM

He was never pressured into racing, but Jack Roush Jr. never strayed far from it. Of course, when racing is a family affair, or when racing is in your blood, it’s hard to just shake it from your lifestyle.

Roush took a different career path than his famous father Jack Roush Sr., a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team owner who guided his team to the 2009 Daytona 500 victory last February. The younger Roush didn’t feel the team owner title was one he wanted to don.  Instead of owning cars, he wanted to race them.
