Roush COT Testing in Full Swing: Entering this weekend's USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicago, Ford and Roush finally look like a match for the Chevys. "The big thing that has helped us with the Car of Tomorrow is we now have a test team," [Jack] Roush said. "We are doing the things I thought we weren't going to be allowed to do when NASCAR told us we couldn't take tires from the racetrack because they didn't want us to test. I thought they would put teeth in that, but they didn't. We got behind. But five weeks ago I hired six people and dedicated a tractor-trailer [for testing]. We've been to Iowa, Milwaukee four times in the last month, and Road Atlanta and VIR [Virginia International Raceway]." Roush's three 2007 victories have come with NASCAR's current car, and the Chicagoland race also will feature the current car. But if Roush Fenway is going to compete with the Chevy teams for the championship, it will have to have a strong COT program. "We're not caught up yet," Roush said. "But we're certainly on the path, and we'll be heard from more before the year is over."(Tampa Tribune)(7-13-2007

Roush is making headway! They started out a little slow this year but can never be counted out. Jack has a lot of talent with BIFFLE, RAGAN, EDWARDS, McMURRAY and KENSETH. The drivers are as only as good as their equipment and team....crew chief merry-go-round does not help either....in the long run ROUSH will over come adversities and make it's way back to the top.....MARKW6

You bet we do Austin. And don't forget about the Yates boys either.

Yeah they do Chad. LOL, Yates/Newman/Haas/Lanigan. Now they better get some of Bourdais' stuff to put on the 88, that's for sure. And Gilliland's car for that matter as well.
