Okay, so the other day I was just chilling, right? And this question pops into my head: “how old is jack roush?” Like, the dude’s a legend, but I had no clue about his age. So, naturally, I did what anyone would do – I started digging.
First thing I did was hit up Google, typed in “jack roush age.” Pretty straightforward, you know? Got a bunch of results, mostly news articles and wiki pages. Started clicking around, trying to find a solid answer. Some sites were giving different dates, which was kinda annoying. I needed the real deal.
Then I thought, okay, maybe I can find his official website or something. Googled “jack roush official website.” Boom! Found it – *. Scrolled around, looked for an “about us” or a “history” section. Bingo! Found some info about the company’s founding and a little about Jack’s background.

Still no exact birthday, though. But the site mentioned he started Roush Performance in the mid-90s. So, I figured if I could find when he started racing, I could estimate his age a bit better. Back to Google! “Jack Roush racing career.” That search turned up a lot of stuff about his early days in drag racing and his involvement with Ford.
After sifting through a bunch of articles and forum posts, I finally pieced it together. He was born in April 1942. So, doing the math… as of today, he is 82 years old!
Here’s what I did to double-check:
- I checked multiple sources: Wikipedia, news articles, Roush Performance’s website.
- I looked for consistent information across all sources.
- I made sure the information was recently updated.
It took a bit of digging, but I finally got my answer. It’s kinda cool learning about these guys, you know? They’ve done some seriously impressive stuff. So, yeah, that’s how I found out how old Jack Roush is. Just a bit of internet sleuthing on a lazy afternoon.
