Roush Fenway Racing, originally Roush Racing, is a racing team competing in NASCAR racing. As one of NASCAR's largest premier racing teams, Roush runs teams in the Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series, and formerly in the Camping World Truck Series and ARCA RE/MAX Series. As of 2015, the team fields the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion for Trevor Bayne, the No. 16 Ortho Ford Fusion for Greg Biffle, and the No. 17 Fastenal/Zest Ford Fusion for Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. in the Sprint Cup Series. In the Xfinity Series, RFR fields the No. 1 OneMain Financial Ford Mustang for Elliott Sadler, the No. 6 Ford EcoBoost/Roush Performance Mustang for Darrell Wallace, Jr., the No. 16 Lilly Diabetes/Drive to Stop Diabetes Mustang for Ryan Reed, and the No. 60 Roush Performance/Fastenal Mustang for Chris Buescher.〔〔 Since its inception, Roush has competed exclusively in Ford brand automobiles. Currently, the Ford Fusion competes in the Sprint Cup, the Ford Mustang template is used in the Nationwide Series, and the Ford F-150 (later branded as the F-Series) was used for the Camping World Truck Series. The team also operates Roush-Yates Engines, which provides engines for most Ford teams in NASCAR and ARCA competition.〔〔 == History == Roush Racing was founded by Jack Roush, former employee of the Ford Motor Company and founder of Roush Performance Engineering. Prior to entering NASCAR competition, Roush had competed and won championships in various drag racing and sports car racing series since the mid-1960s, including the NHRA, SCCA Trans-Am Series, IMSA GT Championship, and the 24 Hours of Daytona. The racing business was originally a small branch of co-owner Jack Roush's successful automotive engineering and road-racing equipment business based in Livonia, Michigan. Early Roush drivers included Tommy Kendall, Scott Pruett, and Willy T. Ribbs. The NASCAR operation, founded in 1988 and based in Concord, North Carolina, has since become the cornerstone and centerpiece of the company.〔 The team won back to back Championships in what is now the Sprint Cup Series in 2003 and 2004; the final Winston Cup championship with driver Matt Kenseth, and the first NEXTEL Cup championship with driver Kurt Busch. The team also has amassed many wins and championships in Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series competition.〔 In 2007, sports investor John W. Henry, owner of the Fenway Sports Group which operates the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool F.C., and the New England Sports Network bought a 50% stake in the team, renamed Roush Fenway Racing. Jack Roush continues to head day-to-day operations of the team. Roush restarted its road racing program in 2006, called Roush Road Racing (previously Roush Performance Racing or Roush Performance). The team fielded the No. 61 Ford Mustang in the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and Rolex Sports Car Series for Billy Johnson and Jack Roush's son, Jack Roush, Jr., and since 2014 fields the No. 60 Mustang in the Pirelli World Challenge sponsored by Roush Performance and driven by Roush, Jr. Since 2015, the team has been fielded in a partnership with Capaldi Racing, moving from the Roush Fenway shops in North Carolina to Michigan near Roush Performance headquarters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.roushroadracing.com/about/about-the-roush-road-racing-team/ )〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roush Fenway Racing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
