Homestead- the 2007 Busch season finale
It's been a great first season for the Discount Tire and
Roush-Fenway partnership. Rookie driver David Ragan, one
of a few driving full-time in both Busch and Nextel Cup,
has helped maintain an excellent position for our team.
As we finish the year at Homestead, he has a virtual lock
on Rookie of the Year points in Busch and a top-five standing
as well. Here's to the Discount Tire #6 Ford Fusion and their
successful 2007 campaign! |
