Roush Fenway Racing’s NASCAR XFINITY Series lineup is full of young talent, with Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr. competing for Sunoco Rookie of the Year Honors and second-year drivers Ryan Reed and Chris Buescher posting wins this season. Bolstering their strong lineup is veteran NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler.

Three Wins and Counting

Roush Fenway Racing is making moves in the XFINITY Series 12 races into this season. Ryan Reed with one and Chris Buescher with two, have three victories this season, the most wins for the organization since 2012 when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with six and Carl Edwards with one, raked in seven victories.

The organization has its entire NASCAR XFINITY Series contingent on the rise with all four drivers in the top-ten point standings. Chris Buescher is the current leader, Darrell Wallace Jr ranks fifth, Elliott Sadler occupies the sixth spot and Ryan Reed mans the eighth position at this point of the season. Continue reading →

Roush Fenway Racing: What’s the Answer?

For years Jack Roush and Roush-Fenway Racing were a team that was a heavy favorite in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Roush won its first championship in 2003 with Matt Kenseth and then added another championship in 2004 with Kurt Busch. They were a powerhouse team from 2000-2009 that was able to field five competitive race cars and the only team in the Sprint Cup Series to do so.

Since 2013 Roush Fenway racing has achieved only five wins between three different race teams. Four of those wins came from former Sprint Cup Series runner-up Carl Edwards who has moved to Joe Gibbs Racing to start the 2015 season. The other victory came from 2005 runner-up Gregg Biffle at Jack Roush’s home track, Michigan, in 2013.

Quite frankly since the end of the 2012 season the team has looked awful and Sunday’s Autism Speaks at Dover was indicative of just that point. Involved in an incident was Trevor Bayne while Ricky Stenhouse Jr had problems with his car from the drop of the green flag and Greg Biffle found himself caught up in a scuffle and finished a team high of 17th-place.
