Roush Performance to join 2011 Tire Rack One Lap of America

Jack Roush Jr. and Billy Johnson to enter new production 2012 Roush vehicles into the ultimate endurance test for the ultimate shakedown

Phoenixville, PA, April 5, 2011. Tire Rack One Lap of America Presented by Motor Trend is proud to announce the entry of the Roush Performance Family to the 2011 One Lap of America. Roush Performance will be entering two production 2012 Roush vehicles in this year's competition in order to showcase their vehicles' reliability and performance. Additionally, Roush has announced a stellar driver lineup of Jack Roush Jr. and Billy Johnson who, most recently, have been competing in the No.61 Roush Performance Ford Mustang, finishing in the top five in every race bar one.

"ROUSH is excited about entering the One Lap to prove the upcoming 2012 vehicles. I consider the One Lap as being the perfect venue to showcase our new line-ups' ability to be driven to a track, put through the paces, and driven back home. The One Lap's format of 'Race, Run and Re-do' is congruent with the Roush Performance philosophy. Billy and I are looking forward to personally proving the 2012 vehicles' capabilities." said Jack Roush, Jr.

In addition to the official entries in the 2011 One Lap, Roush will be partnering with One Lap and Rosenthal Media by providing a media vehicle for the event. The vehicle will be highly visible and used to follow the event and provide real-time updates about the One Lap and Roush performance vehicles. More information on the Roush Performance vehicles and their participation in the One Lap will be released later in the week.
