Description
One of NASCAR’S best-known race-team owners, sly-cat brainiac Jack Roush built his life one mid-term paper, one race engine and one victory at a time. Born in Manchester, Ohio, in 1942, he went on to study math and physics and was quickly recruited as a Ford engineer in charge of assembly and tooling. But, five years later, the rush of racing took him to a group of local drag racers for whom he built engines and related equipment. Soon, he was in hot demand and began his own engine-development company.
