- Jack Roush comments on 2015 driver lineup and performance:
car owner Jack Roush participated in a press conference this morning
announcing their involvement with EcoPower re-refined motor oil,
produced by Safety-Kleen. In addition, team owner Jack Roush answered
questions regarding the 2014 season and 2015, the transcript in part:
Q) WHERE DO YOU FEEL YOUR PROGRAM IS AT THIS POINT AND DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATE ON YOUR DRIVER LINEUP FOR NEXT YEAR?
Roush: "In due time we'll have announcements for 2015. We've got
a lot of 2014 in front of us and we're obviously focused on that. If
you looked at our year we've been probably challenged more than some of
the teams have with the difference in the ride height. I know that's
changed the dynamic of the underbody of the car and it's been a
revelation. How low is low enough and how low is too low. Too low is
higher than we thought it might have been a month ago and we're sorting
that out. We're committing to test as much as we can. We've got a test
going somewhere virtually every week, either a tire test at a NASCAR
race track - a sanctioned test - or a bootlegged race track test that's
not on the NASCAR circuit, so we're testing. We're running our
eight-post machine in the lab real hard and we're taking very careful
note of the ride height changes on the race track and where we seem to
have our challenge and our best result returned. I think that most of
the answer for the things that we need are in our box of parts - it's
the bump stops, it's a rubber, it's those spring combinations - it's the
roll bars. We don't seem to have a kinematic problem. We don't seem
to have a fundamental error problem. Certainly the Penske guys are
running really well with very similar cars and we've just got to get
back to where we need to be. This business cycles. We've had times
when we've been the cars to beat for an extended period of time to
everybody's frustration and now we're just struggling to get back to
where we need to be."(Ford Racing)(6-13-2014)
