Brown, a Dallas native with no background in auto racing, plans to partner with Roush Racing on a team based in Charlotte, N.C., and to begin competition next year. "It's going to be a big deal to try and get accomplished, but I think it's going to be great to try," said Brown, who said he was approached by Roush Racing for the job. "Obviously there's a diversity issue that needs to be addressed [in NASCAR]. They thought I was a good guy to do it." Like Joe Gibbs, Tim Brown is high profile and should help the marketability of NASCAR. Teaming with Roush will only help improve his chance at being successful.

ntotoro Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Wonder why Roush in-particular. The only thing I can think is that Jack likes to get under the skin of the GOB's who run NASCAR. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
