2012 Roush Yates Engines driver lineup

[nginman]

last year they ran mopar bodies but ford engines from Roush. sounds like the same game this year.

last year Menzies ran engines by Kroyer Racing Engines, to 6 Pro-4 Wins and 7 Pro-2 Wins (well 8 Pro-2 if you count LOORS) and 2 Championships in TORC and 1 in SCORE, this year, well.....that's a different story.
We wish them continued sucsess in the TORC Series as they are a Great Team! and a Great Family!

Thanks for the info guys, just seems odd though to me. The Ford/Nissan I understand but Mopar being a big time sponsor and having it on the side I'd assume they would like to have their power in it. So I'm assume that means the Jenkins Bros team was only Mopar engines?

Does anybody have any real answers to this thread? It's obvious what guys are running RY Fords- Deegan, Barlow, McGrath. But what engines are Menzies Johnson running? Dodge block Roush Yates? What about the Jenkins brothers? I thought the private company(Stanton) making the sealed Mopar Pro-Lite engines were making the P2 & P4 engines? Is RY making a Nissan for Hord, or that a FORD? What about Carl? Who is making his "NISSAN"? I thought I had also heard that LOORRS was implementing a body rule. Although that is impossible with the V8's in Pro-Lite? I just have all these questions today, now that PENSKE will not be building any Cup Dodge engines for anyone, and they will run RY's.

2pounder,
The answer to your first question is that both LOORS & TORC allow teams to run non matching engine/body combinations. Some of the reasons for this is that most teams have a current inventory of engines when they get these new deals with the manufactures and the cost of changing over is beyond what is in the budget, while some others may not have a current engine design that is competitive. Also even thou our RoushYates engine (and other builders) is based off the Ford engine it has almost no "Ford" parts in it as most parts are either made in house or manufactured to our specifications.

The Penske question was answered over the weekend. Here is our press release.

Roush Yates to Provide Ford FR9 NASCAR Engines to Penske Racing

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 6, 2012) – Roush Yates Engines announced today that it will provide Ford FR9 engines to Penske Racing beginning with the 2013 NASCAR season.

Penske Racing announced earlier this year that it would be returning to Ford Racing in 2013 in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series.

“It’s truly an honor to provide Penske Racing with Roush Yates Ford engines,” said Doug Yates, CEO of Roush Yates. “I have always admired Roger Penske as a team owner and a respected businessman in our sport and beyond. I am looking forward to many wins, championships, and other successes in supporting the Penske organization.”

Penske Racing fielded Ford entries from 1991 through 2002.

“Ford has been consistent in its belief that we will be stronger with one engine specification rather than continuing with an independent approach,” said Tim Cindric, President of Penske Racing. “Roush Yates has a proven record and we are looking forward to many successes together.”

Penske Racing’s decision effectively reinforces the “One Ford” approach.

“We are very pleased that Penske Racing has decided to use Roush Yates’ FR9 engines as they re-join Ford starting in 2013,” said Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing. “This aligns well with the spirit of One Ford; having a unified One Ford engine program in NASCAR allows us to apply all of our technical resources into one program benefitting all Ford teams. We believe the FR9 has proven to be a strong engine and by taking the input from our teams and drivers at Roush Fenway, Penske Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports and the Wood Brothers, we know that input, along with the knowledge and technical skills of Ford and Roush Yates, led by Doug Yates, will only make our engine program even more competitive in the future.”

Roush Yates has a history of delivering immediate benefits.

In 2004, Roush and Yates combined their respective Ford engine programs to provide engine packages available to all Ford Racing teams. In its first year of operations, Roush Yates powered Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 97 team to the Sprint Cup Series Championship.

“The ability to work with another championship-caliber organization will take our engine program to a greater level,” Yates said. “We have always prided ourselves in providing consistent power to all of our teams and I am confident that Roush Yates will be stronger as a result of this new relationship.”

I hear that your v8 engine package is now over 20k? Is this true?

Congratulations on the deal. Brad K. and Paul Wolfe will bring you many more wins, and possibly another Championship down the road.
