Jay Dickens Racing Engines Joins with Roush Yates Engines

Roush Yates Engines Names Jay Dickens Short Track Engine Program Manager

Aberdeen, MS (March 30, 2010) Jay Dickens Racing Engines is proud to announce a recent joining with Roush Yates Performance Group in Mooresville, NC.  Dickens has over 25 years of experience in the racing industry and will serve as the Short Track Engine Program Manager for Roush Yates Performance Group.  Also making the move to North Carolina are Jay Dickens Racing Engines employees Brad Loden, Bill Lovelady and Seth Stacy.

Jay Dickens has grown from a small, local engine builder into a national powerhouse in just twelve years.  He formed Jay Dickens Racing Engines out of Aberdeen Mississippi in 1994, accumulating multiple track championships, series championships, and countless wins throughout his career. 

Dickens and his team are excited about joining the Roush Yates Performance Group and their short track engine program which provides engines for Sprint, Dirt Late Model, Off-Road and Modified racing series.  Roush Yates Performance Group is housed in a new 40,000 square foot facility which Dickens considers "an engine builders dream".  Amenities include six dynamometer cells, two spintron cells, eleven build stations, and a machine shop that is second to none.

"Having the best technicians and the best working environment will allow us to service our customers better and offer faster turn-around times" said Dickens.  "The ability to have complete access to the Engineering department ensures that our ongoing research and development will allow our team to be leaders in the short track market."

Dickens and his team will have access to Roush Yates’ multiple facilities to help build the short track engine program.

Roush Yates Machining is a full service facility that is purpose-designed for machining custom race parts.  "The extensive manufacturing capabilities at Roush Yates Machining will allow us to design, test, and build many parts in house" said Dickens.

Roush Yates Performance Parts, a subset of Roush Yates that sells new and used parts to consumers and Saturday night racers alike, will continue to offer the same racing and performance parts currently offered by Jay Dickens Racing Engines.  "With more counter space and phone technicians, along with a full warehouse and shipping staff, order fill rate and ship time will be significantly better" said Loden.

Roush Yates Performance Group is excited about the extensive engine building experience Jay Dickens and his team brings to their company as well as his resourcefulness in the performance parts business.

“Jay Dickens has been a leader in technology and innovation at the short track level” said Bucky Gregory, VP of Sales and Marketing for Roush Yates Engines.   “We are proud to add Dickens to our superior staff and look forward to utilizing his vast experience to continue to grow our short track engine program.”

Jay Dickens Racing Engines is eager to pursue this tremendous opportunity with the Roush Yates Performance Group.  Announcements on the closing of the current shop will be coming soon.
