From an Jack Roush interview with the Detroit Free Press:
Q: Young Colin Braun won the truck race for you at MIS on Saturday. What do you think of him?
A: He’s got great potential, and he’s a great person. There are some drivers who can’t ever come through your organization again, and he’s not one of them. We’ll run Colin and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the Nationwide Series in 2010.(Detroit Free Press)(6-18-2009)
UPDATE: Roush Fenway Racing would like to put all three of its development drivers in the Nationwide Series next year, team President Geoff Smith says. Smith said Sunday that the perfect plan would involve moving Roush Fenways lone Camping World Truck Series team with Colin Braun to Nationwide to form one team and use two of its current teams to run Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Erik Darnell full time in the series. We are sure we want them in Nationwide, Smith said. Were working really hard in keeping a full employment scenario at Roush Fenway Racing going into next year, which requires the Colin program to convert from a Truck program to a Nationwide program. Weve got an option even if we had a Nationwide program for one, wed like to offer having the other two split the car and have a mini-gong show, where the winner gets the deal the following year and we lose somebody if it doesnt work out, Smith said. In a worst-case scenario [it] would be having one program for all three and have a gong-show scenario.”(Scene Daily)(6-22-2009)
