TEAM REPORTS (CONCORD, NC.) - Roush Fenway Racing's Fan of the Year Creates Playlist for Fellow Fans

In December of last year, Roush Fenway Racing's fans voted on who would be the first-ever Fan of the Year. The winner by a landslide, with over 100,000 votes, was Jarrott Kirby from Marshall, Texas. So what was Kirby's first official duty as Roush Fenway Racing's Fan of the Year? Create an Apple iTunes iMix to get his fellow fans charged up for the 2008 season, of course!

"It is important to us that Jarrott be involved in creating content for his fellow Roush Fenway Racing fans, says director of internet marketing, Amy Rowell. "Our iMixes have become a popular feature on our website so we thought it would be a great idea for him to create one too. And I have to say, it's a good one!"

I just can't say enough how lucky we are to have Jarrott as our very first Fan of the Year. He's just a great guy and we can't wait to have him here with us for the Coca-Cola 600 weekend."
