Roush Fenway Racing heads into this weekend's showdown at Texas Motor Speedway needing just two more wins to reach its 300th NASCAR victory as a team.

"It's a great honor if we are able to achieve 300 wins in NASCAR," said Roush Fenway co-owner Jack Roush. "Certainly we had hoped when we started the race team in 1988 that we would win our share of the races. I had hoped to be able to survive in a business that I recognized to be very hostile and very competitive."

The team will have six events and 21 entries left in 2011, giving it a good shot at picking up those two wins.

"We have been blessed with having a number of very able and very determined, capable drivers that have remained loyal to one another, the team, myself and the organization," said Roush. "Without that loyalty and that continuity we would have not been able to have achieved this type of success."
