Jack Roush Chooses His Drivers On Basis Of Whether He Can Allow His Daughter To Date Them


Car owner Jack Roush was on a conference call with reporters Wednesday and had a few intersting things to say about his driver, Carl Edwards, and former driver Kyle Busch.

“Kyle Busch, we certainly had a chance to look at Kyle and his brother Kurt for that matter, and the fact is that they are not the kind of personality and they don’t have the moral code on the race track that we look for,’’ Roush said. “I wish them well. They’re going to win a lot of championships. They’re going to do well, but I wouldn’t trade any of my rookies that are coming or any of the guys that are mature in the Cup rides for anybody else that I see in the field, including Kyle or Kurt.”

“Carl’s got a great morale code. He’s a really fierce competitor. He’s a young man that you’d like, if you were an adult, a young man you’d like to think your son could grow up and be similar to. He’s a young man you’d like to think your daughter would entertain in the courting process, and he’s somebody to look up to. He’s worked really hard with his family and preparing himself for the public persona that people would rally behind. He’s the best gymnast I’ve ever been involved with. He’s quite a guy.”
