My Old Kentucky Home

This weekend’s race in Kentucky marks a homecoming for team owner Jack Roush who hails from Covington, Ky., which is located just over 30 minutes from the Kentucky Speedway.

And They’re Off

Cup in Kentucky

In 19 MENCS starts at Kentucky, the organization has earned a best finish of fifth in the inaugural MENCS event in 2011 with former Roush Fenway driver Carl Edwards.

Quick Out of the Gate
