Nationwide: Roush Racing Style

by Troy J. on Feb 1, 2010 3:56 PM EST Comment 3 comments

Roush announced that they plan to run three teams full time (6, 16 and 60) along with having a car for Kenseth, and one for Ragan every once and a while. Biffle moves to the 27 car part time (not owned by Roush). The drivers for the 6 and the 16 are Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Colin Braun. Now here's the thing I don't get. Last year Stenhouse drove the 16 Citi Ford and Braun drove the Con-Way 6 Truck. This year, Braun will drive the # 16 Con-Way ford, and Stenhouse is in the # 6 Citi ford. Why the change? It obviously had nothing to do with sponsorship. Why switch numbers?

Not to mention, the 6 car looks so weird without it being 16.

Proof positive that unless your name is Kenseth, Biffle or Edwards, no one cares about Roush Drivers.

I think it has to do with sponsorship

because each driver has the same sponsor, and maybe they put Stenhouse in the 6 car because he might be sharing races with Ragan who is the 6 cup driver while Braun is in a full-time ride. I don’t know this for sure as I didn’t look into it, but that is what first came to me when I read this. I’ll have to look into it further though to be sure.
