Roush Yates Engines Launches Partnership
Roush Yates Engines, renowned for providing winning engines in the NASCAR circuit, is once again expanding their program to encompass another form of motorsports. This partnership with Humphreys takes Roush Yates Engines into the powerful and competitive realm of NHRA Drag Racing. They already have a history of success in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, as well as ARCA, Grand-Am and FIA GT3 competition.
The Ford-based company is committed to success on the race track and feels this latest move is a testament to how far their program has progressed. In 2009, Roush Yates engines powered more than 50 victories in a variety of asphalt, dirt and marine racing competition.
Roush Yates Engines has high expectations for this newly-formed partnership, and is proud to support Humphreys. This groundbreaking venture is the first of its kind between a prominent NASCAR engine builder and an NHRA Pro Stock Team.
“Having an up and coming driver like Justin Humphreys commit to run Roush Yates Engines is great for our team," said Doug Yates, CEO of Roush Yates Engines. “Introducing our engine program into drag racing is something we have been working very hard to achieve. Justin’s willingness to commit to our engines, combined with our desire and dedication to win, will make for successful teamwork."
