--(Cont'd From Front Page)-- This week, 314 races later — 311 consecutive — Roush Fenway Racing will eclipse Spears Motorsports as the team with the most series starts.

It’s been quite a ride to the eve of start No. 316.

Greg Biffle presented Roush with the team’s first NASCAR championship in 2000.

The team’s 49 victories, two coming at Kentucky Speedway in 2000 and 2003, is a series record.

Twenty-eight different drivers have competed in a Roush Fenway truck; 10 count at least one win.

Early on, Roush recognized the series as being a proving ground for young talent. Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards and David Ragan each used the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series as a gateway into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

“The Craftsman Truck Series has been a tremendous place for us to find and groom the next generation of drivers,” Roush said. “The series not only provides great, competitive racing for the fans every week, but it also gives young drivers the chance to shine and prove themselves to make their way up the ranks."

Roush’s Colin Braun leads series rookie points.
