RoushYates Engines in Mooresville NC. Roush & Yates combined the engine shops about 10 years ago. There are about 300 employes.
Thanks Ron, All of the Fords that race in any of the three stock car divisions lease engines from us. They can't get them anywhere else. I worked for Penske Racing until Dodge pulled out of NASCAR. When Penske signed with Ford I was hired on at the NASCAR Ford engine shop.Ah!...very cool, keep up the good work.
Does Penske use your engines ? If so congrats on the win![]()

Of the 80 plus employees at the Penske Dodge engine shop only 7 of us were hired at the Ford engine shop. There are basically four engine shops left in NASCAR stock car racing. Chevrolet has two shops, Hendrick & Richard Childress Engines, Ford has one shop, RoushYates Engines & Toyota has TRD (Toyota Racing Development) in California.
There are a couple of other small Chevrolet & Toyota engine shops that build for the start & park teams.
IIRC, restrictor plate racing came to be because on a super-speedway, with the technology of aerodynamics and horse-power bringing the cars consistently and easily past 200mph, the cars would "fly". The restrictor plates limit the speed to a "less than flight" possibility in a way a rev-limiter could not. "Stock" car racing is regulated to keep that cars pretty even within the parameters of the chosen "brand" and body style.I'm really glad this so called race is over. It is so overhyped and overdone that it is sickening. The winner is usually the car that gets lucky on the sure green/white/ checkered finish. I find restrictor plate racing boring since it is dependent on who your friends and neighbors and the race is not necessarily won by the best driver or the best car. I watched the beginning, got bored and did other things until near the end. I apparently didn't miss much since I saw "the bid one" and the green/white/checkered finish. Not having qualifying organized was a mess.

My overall rub with it in general is "stock-car" racing. Wish I could buy a two door, V-8, rear drive , Fusion .....
In today's market, "stock" car racing should be ,four door front drive & V6..
That was stock car racing !

i can flush a handful of skittles down the toilet and get the same amount of excitement that i get from watching a nascar race today.
In the "old days" i could watch a nascar race and see ford, mercury, chevrolet, thunderbird, pontiac, plymouth, dodge, buick, and oldsmobile all on the same track and all the brands maintained their individual body shapes. Now all the cars look like jelly beans.
Dag!..that thang is fugly...![]()
