History & Background

Jack Roush founded Roush Industries in 1976 as an engineering company before launching Roush Performance Products in 1995 to sell street-legal modified Fords. His NASCAR teams (Roush Fenway Racing) have won hundreds of races. Roush Performance is the direct beneficiary of that racing knowledge applied to street cars — the same engineers who optimize race car powertrains develop the supercharger kits and suspension tuning for Roush street vehicles.

Corporate Structure
