“For the contribution of your time, energy, passion and committment, I humbly salute you and thank you for the small part you have allowed me to play in your many successes which have brought me to this event at the Texas Motor Speedway tonight,” Roush said to the 200 individuals in attendance at the Speedway Club Grand Ballroom. “Truly, you are the 2013 Texas Motorsports Hall of Famers, and I thank each and every one of you for all your support down through the years.”

Roush became the 15th member of the Hall of Fame.

In all, Roush Fenway Racing has 18 wins at Texas across all three of NASCAR’s national series — Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck. Across those three series, seven different drivers have driven RFR entries into victory lane.

In addition to the three current RFR Cup drivers, 14 others have made Sprint Cup starts behind the wheel of Roush Fenway Fords. Those 14 other drivers include Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Kurt Busch, David Ragan, Ted Musgrave, Jamie McMurray, Chad Little, Kevin Lepage, Johnny Benson, Wally Dallenbach, Todd Kluever, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kenny Wallace and Dave Blaney.

Martin is among eight drivers who have driven an RFR entry into victory lane. The other ones include Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards, Burton, Busch, Ragan and McMurray.
