Natural Hat-Trick for Roush Fenway

In Feb. 2006, Roush Fenway accomplished one of the hardest feats in NASCAR, sweeping all three events at Auto Club Speedway. Mark Martin won in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series on Friday, followed by wins from Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NSCS.

California Love

Roush Fenway has won at ACS seven times in the NSCS dating back to 1998, when driver Martin earned the first victory for the organization at the two-mile oval. Since then, current driver Biffle, as well as former Roush Fenway drivers Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards and Kenseth have earned victories at ACS for team owner Jack Roush.

Tale of the Tape

Roush Fenway has started 116 NSCS races at ACS, recording a total of seven victories, 29 top-five finishes, 51 top-10 finishes, an average finish of 14.9 and has led 1,440 laps. Kenseth earned Roush Fenway’s most recent victory at ACS in the Feb. 2009 event.

California Dreamin’

Roush Fenway won at least one race in one of NASCAR’s three major touring series at ACS for seven consecutive seasons from 2003-2009, tallying a total of 13 victories during that time frame.

Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye to Hollywood

Roush Fenway has left ACS with at least two victories during the same weekend four times, including a sweep of all three events in 2006. In addition, Roush Fenway swept both XFINITY races at ACS in 2005, while winning both the NSCS and XFINITY races in the spring of that same season.

Jack Puttin’ it Down for Californ-i-a

Roush Fenway’s seven victories in the NSCS at ACS are tied for sixth most in the organization’s history with Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. ACS trails only Charlotte Motor Speedway (eight), Texas Motor Speedway (nine), Dover International Speedway (nine), Bristol Motor Speedway (11) and Michigan International Speedway (13) for the most NSCS wins at one track.

Welcome to the Hotel California

Roush Fenway has earned six victories, 24 top-five finishes, 39 top-10 finishes and an average finish of 11.6 at ACS in the XFINITY Series. Roush Fenway swept the season series at ACS in 2004 and 2005 with drivers Biffle, Martin and Edwards.
