Rare Roush renaissance at Daytona positive for team

In the final restrictor-plate race for the current chassis at Daytona, Jack Roush’s crew saved the best for last.
When Jamie McMurray won Saturday night’s Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway, it marked the first win for a Roush Fenway Racing Ford at Daytona in four years.
And with all five Roush cars landing in the top 12 at the conclusion of the race, it was the first time Roush had at least three top-10 finishers at Daytona since Greg Biffle’s victory in July of 2003.
No wonder the Cat in the Hat was all smiles in Victory Lane, especially when it came to the emotional display by McMurray and crew chief Larry Carter.
“The re-birth of this team, to do what we’re doing with it this year, is Jamie first, at the center of it, and Larry second, “ Roush said. “My hat’s off to them for doing such a great job. I’d like to think that everybody within our organization has got the skill sets for their job, they’ve got the skill sets to do what anybody else can do.
