Roush Yates Engines and FORD Performance made history this month by capturing all four races at Daytona International Speedway including the Rolex 24 with Scott Dixon, Jamie McMurray, Kyle Larson and Tony Kanaan, the NextEra Energy Resources 250 with Tyler Reddick, the Alert Today Florida 300 with Ryan Reed and the Daytona 500 with Joey Logano. The Daytona 500 win marked the 100th Sprint Cup Series win for Roush Yates Engines.
RAJ NAIR, group vice president, Global Product Development, Ford Motor Company – “You can’t ask for a better weekend starting out with the truck race and Brad Keselowski’s truck team winning, and then Ryan Reed winning the XFINITY race for Roush Fenway Racing, and now Team Penske and Joey Logano with the Daytona 500 championship. Roush Yates Engines for those three wins plus winning the 24 Hours of Daytona a few weeks before that. Roush Yates Engines are right now undefeated at Daytona.”
“This past weekend and the month of January has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am so proud of our team here at Roush Yates. It means a lot to power Chip Ganassi Racing (IMSA), Brad Keselowski Racing, Roush Fenway Racing and Team Penske to victories at Daytona International Speedway to start the 2015 season” – Doug Yates CEO and President, Roush Yates Engines.

With the win, Joey Logano helped Roush Yates Engines achieve their 100th Sprint Cup Series win. Logano lead a total of 31 laps and the last 10 laps in-route to becoming the 2nd youngest driver to ever win the “Great American Race”. “Roush Yates does a great job for us” said Joey Logano after his win “There is a pretty tough motor in that thing”. The win gave FORD their 14th Daytona 500 victory and is the first time that FORD has ever swept all four events during Speedweeks and the first time since last August that FORD has swept a weekend in NASCAR.
Ryan Reed won his first career Xfinity race on Saturday in his FORD Mustang followed closely by Roush Fenway Racing teammate Chris Buescher. FORD Performance drivers lead a total of 57 laps on Saturday powering their way to a one, two finish and Reed became the 37th different driver to win an Xfinity race with FORD.

In all, Brad Keselowski Racing trucks lead 56 of 100 laps and finished the race with a first and fourth place respectively.
