ROUSH YATES ENGINES STEPS IN TO A NEW ARENA WITH THEIR INTRODUCTION TO DRAG RACING
Mooresville, NC – February 2010 – Roush Yates Engines is proud to announce their participation in the 2010 drag racing season. Roush Yates Engines (RYE), well-known for their precision engines and dominance in NASCAR, ARCA and more recently Grand-American Racing, has announced their introduction to drag racing with two new exciting programs for the 2010 NHRA Drag Racing season.
Roush Yates Engines’ first endeavor puts them right into the throws of NHRA Pro Stock. Justin Humphreys, current NHRA Pro Stock driver, will campaign a 2010 Ford Mustang powered by Ford’s new 500 cu. in. power plant, built and developed by RYE. Humphreys, who has competed in NHRA Pro Stock the last 3 seasons will be the first to campaign a Roush Yates Ford engine in NHRA Pro Stock.
In addition to their involvement in Pro Stock, Roush Yates Engines is teaming up with Aeromotive Fuel Systems to build another 500 cu. in. Ford power plant. This one however, a twin-turbocharged version to campaign in NHRA’s Pro Mod class. Aeromotive Founder and President, Steve Matusek campaigned an ’07 Mustang powered by a twin-turbo 5.4L mod motor the last few seasons, but steps up the game with their new 2010 Mustang powered by Ford and Roush Yates. “We are extremely excited about the opportunity to work with Roush Yates,” Matusek said. “The level of precision and expertise that they bring to table is actually pretty daunting. It’s a lot of fun to consider the possibilities, but we are focused on putting together a competitive program for 2010.”
“Our involvement in drag racing is a natural progression for us,” said Roush Yates CEO, Doug Yates. “We are looking to grow and diversify our offerings, while maintaining the competitive edge that has set us apart in other forms of racing,” Yates added. RYE plans to utilize existing technology to produce engines at the highest level for both professional and sportsman drag racing. In fact, General Manager of Roush Yates’ NASCAR engine programs, George Gable is building a C-Altered to compete in NHRA Comp Eliminator using the RYE 358 cu. in. spec engine for the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Look for more announcements and developments like these from RYE in the coming months.
Roush Yates Engines designs, engineers and crafts high performance racing engines with the power to perform and the horsepower and durability you’d expect from legendary NASCAR pioneers Jack Roush and Robert Yates. At Roush Yates Engines, the mission is Power Performance, which is achieved through innovative design, precision engineering and skillful craftsmanship. Building the best engines in racing today, providing service that’s second to none and honoring a commitment to research and development are at the heart of Roush Yates Engines.
