RFK Racing

The multi-team aspect of the company allows for information and resources to be shared across the enterprise, improving the performance of all of the teams.

Beginning in 2001, after years of operating in separate facilities, the teams were moved into a single shop in Concord, North Carolina to improve performance and communication.

[15] Following the 2009 season, Roush Fenway was ordered by NASCAR to shrink its operation to four Sprint Cup Series teams, ceding the No.

Starting in 2025, RFK will expand the 60 team into a full time operation with driver Ryan Preece, and Kroger being the sponsor.

6 team won back-to-back driver's championships in 2011 and 2012 with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.[5][9] Following the departures of Ryan Reed, Chase Briscoe, and Austin Cindric, Roush's Xfinity program was closed following the 2018 season.

Travis Kvapil returned to Roush and shared this ride with Bobby East and John Wes Townley for the rest of the season.

Auggie Vidovich II drove for the Mansfield race after Ragan crashed the truck in practice, finishing 19th.

Biffle would go on a tear in 1999 when he won nine times and was in contention for the championship for much of the season before finally losing to Jack Sprague.

[19][20][21] Hossfeld struggled in his rookie year, and soon he was released, with Jon Wood driving the truck for the remainder of the season.

In 2005, Todd Kluever, another "Gong Show" winner, piloted the truck sponsored by Shell Rotella T and World Financial Group.

Roush decided to run another part-time team for rookie David Ragan to fill out his original schedule.

Posting three top tens in four races that year, he shared the ride with Mark Martin, who won at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

The next year, Chuck Bown was hired to drive full-time, posting thirteen top tens and finishing ninth in points.

Bown drove the first race of the 1998 season at Walt Disney World Speedway, before Joe Ruttman moved over to the truck for the remainder of the year, winning once and finishing third in points.

Mike Bliss was next to tackle the ride, scoring a win at Heartland Park Topeka but only finishing ninth in points.

When Bliss left for an ill-fated rookie year in Winston Cup, Kurt Busch was named the new driver for 2000.

Busch won four times and finished second to teammate Biffle in the championship, easily winning Rookie of the Year.

Despite posting four top ten finishes in twelve starts, Hasleau was waived mid-season, replaced initially by former Truck Series drivers Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch.

[24] Kurt's younger brother Kyle would also run six races in the second half of the season, earning two top tens at the age of 16.

[25][26][27][28] After Tim Fedewa ran the 2002 season-opener in the truck, and with the now 17-year-old Busch not able to compete, the team did not run for the rest of the year due to lack of sponsorship.

99 truck full-time in 2006 with at first Woolrich, but eventually Northern Tool and Equipment as sponsor to a 2006 Rookie of the Year title.

In 2008, Darnell captured one win at Michigan by only .005 seconds over eventual champion Johnny Benson and ended the season fourth in the standings.

[35][36] Roush also provided heavy technical support to Yates Racing from 2008 to the team's closure at the end of 2009, when it merged with Richard Petty Motorsports.

[42] It would end after that season, with the Wood Brothers currently receiving equipment and support (other than engines) from Team Penske.

[43] In 2005, nine-time Pro Bowl NFL wide receiver Tim Brown announced that he intended to start his own NASCAR team, most likely No.

In 2006, SoBe No Fear energy drink announced that it was forming a new team to run full-time in 2007, with a car driven by road racing specialist Boris Said.

In April 2015, United Launch Alliance announced that they were contracting with Roush Racing to produce the lightweight internal combustion engine to be used to power the long-life on orbit system of the Advanced Cryogenic Evolved Stage to be flown in the 2020s as the second stage of the Vulcan launch vehicle.

[48] For many years, Roush Racing recruited its developmental drivers through an elimination-style of testing entitled The Gong Show.

They would then be put through a series of tests, gauging not only driving skills but also public relations talent and personality traits.

In 2005, the process was documented in the Discovery Channel television series Roush Racing: Driver X, which followed the stories of those involved in the 2005 Gong Show.
