Dudley has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

I'll try to do some more research into it.... could possibly be so they can enter many cars in one race, I think the full time limit is 4, Roush had 6 cars in a race last year (Kenseth, Edwards, Biffle, Martin, Ragan and Kleuver)


oh and to answer you question about how those cars with so much power accelerate so slowly at Daytona, it's all because of the restrictor plate, it basically halfs the power available.
You're only allowed 4 full time teams but that's a very new rule so Rousch is allowed to run 5 full time for a while.
