Roush Racing without Mark Martin is one thing, but Roush Racing partnered with Fenway Sports Group is something else.
That something else is confusing. I always thought Jack Roush (photo by NASCAR.com) had everything at his disposal he could possibly need – big business in his own right and some good sponsors for the cars.
He says the move is to put a hurt on the new kid in Cuptown, Toyota.
Roush will make an announcement Feb. 14 in Daytona Beach, Fla. Roush Racing may take on a new name with the partner who could have up to 50 percent of the racing division.
Change the name if you will, Jack, but I’m still a Roushgal, Roushette, Roushketeer or Kitten in the Cap.
Some owners don’t seem to think Toyota is going to be a threat in the Nextel Cup. The automaker expands the playing field and bring in advertising dollars. Some say another manufacturer will increase the opportunities for new teams. Chip Ganassi says Toyota coming to town is forcing teams to look ahead and possibly increase wages and benefits for his employees.
Jack Roush, not a fan of imports in any sense of the automotive word, told NASCAR.com on Wednesday that he doesn’t plan to roll over and wither up like teams in other race series’ have done faced with the Japanese giant.
“I’m just going to say that nobody’s frightened. We’re going to war with them, and they should give us their best shot.”
You tell ‘em, Jack.
