Roush Fenway Ready to Tackle the Monster

After another solid showing at Darlington last weekend, Roush Fenway turns its attention from the ‘Lady in Black’ to the ‘Monster Mile’ of Dover.

While nicknamed the “Monster Mile,” Roush Fenway Racing has experienced a great deal of success at every level of NASCAR competition at Dover. Roush Fenway started a total of 229 NASCAR races at Dover, tallying 13 wins, 68 top fives, 108 top 10s and 10 poles, while leading 4223 laps in NASCAR action.

Stenhouse Jr. To Run for Mississippi Flood Relief at Dover

Stenhouse and Roush Feneway are teaming up this weekend to bring attention to relief efforts for those affected by the recent flooding of the Mississippi River. Those interested in helping with relief efforts are encouraged to contact www.nascar.com/unites for more information (under Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Mississippi Flood Relief). The Lionel NASCAR Collectables company will produce a limited number of die cast replica cars with this paint scheme and a portion of those sales will be donated to the relief fund. Additionally, the hood from the No. 6 Ford Mustang will be autographed by Stenhouse Jr. and auctioned off through the NASCAR Foundation in an effort to generate additional revenue for the cause.
