Jack Roush, Respected Team Owner, Entrepreneur, Mechanical Wizard, Receives 2016 NASCAR® Buddy Shuman Award
01 Dezembro 2016 - 7:30PM
Jack Roush, NASCAR® team owner, global business executive,
mechanical wizard and perhaps the world’s best-known wearer of
Panama hats, received the prestigious NASCAR Buddy Shuman Award
during today’s NMPA Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon in Las Vegas.
Established in 1957 in memory of Louis Grier “Buddy” Shuman, one of
stock car racing’s most popular early drivers, the award has been
sponsored for 60 consecutive years by Federal-Mogul Motorparts’
iconic Champion® brand of spark plugs, filters, wipers, batteries
and other products. Federal-Mogul Motorparts is a division of
Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:FDML).
Roush joins such racing luminaries as Bill France Sr., Richard
Petty, Ken Squier, Chris Economaki and Rick Hendrick in receiving
the award, which recognizes individuals and organizations that have
helped shape professional stock car racing. Shuman was a beloved
figured who raced in Grand National (now Sprint Cup Series) events
in the early 1950s and also served as NASCAR’s first technical
inspector. He perished in a hotel fire in 1955.
A native of Covington, Ky., Roush became interested in
motorsports as an engineer at Ford Motor Company in the mid-1960s.
He and racing partner Wayne Gapp had significant early success in
drag racing’s Pro Stock class before Roush began developing road
racing vehicles through a consulting deal with Ford. He leveraged
his engineering skill and racing experience to establish Jack Roush
Performance Engineering in 1976. Roush was a dominant force in
Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and International Motor Sports
Association (IMSA) road racing during the 1980s, winning more than
100 races and 24 national titles. He moved to NASCAR in 1988 with
the launch of Roush Racing, a one-car Sprint Cup Series team led by
driver Mark Martin. Roush Racing won back-to-back Sprint Cup
championships in 2003 and 2004. In 2007, the organization announced
a joint venture with Fenway Sports Group. The resulting
organization, Roush Fenway Racing, now operates three teams apiece
in NASCAR Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series competition.
“Jack is a true racing legend, with unprecedented success as a
performance engineer, driver, entrepreneur, team owner, tactician
and mentor,” said Michael Proud, vice president of marketing,
Americas, Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “Perhaps his most impressive
achievement, however, has been his ability to empower those around
him – drivers, mechanics, engine builders, crew chiefs and
engineers – to excel both on and off the track. The Roush brand is
synonymous with race-winning performance.”
Champion products are leading choices of talented drivers,
engine builders, professional technicians and consumers worldwide.
