Will Yates make a third team? And will Jamie McMurray race for them?

Question

Yates close to sponsorship..and a 3rd team?: Doug Yates, who has been worried that he might not make it to year two as a NASCAR team owner, is doing better now, according to Roush, a fellow Ford team owner, who said sponsorship is coming through for Yates -- not only enough sponsorship to keep Yates' two teams going but to allow Yates to expand to a three-car operation [currently #28, #38). No word on who the third driver might be. http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#news6

Since Roush is helping them, (And Yates moved their shop closer to Roush) I wonder if they will hire Jamie and his crew, and some of Roush's sponsors? What do you think?

Answer 1

Yates will have three drivers next year: Kvapil, McMurray, and Menard.  I see Gilliland getting kicked to the curb.

Answer 2

the way it sounds the one roush driver that has to go either mcmury or regan will go to yates and race for them since roush supplies engins with them and they help each other out like a BIG  team

Answer 3

That is a very good observation if I do say so myself. Good thinking! I think that is exactly what is going to play out. Good detective work!

Answer 4

gilliland ran good last night til he got bottled up and wrecked

38 =40th -28 =31st

not to good,what would a 3rd one finish

Answer 5

i actually heard that matt kenseth is looking at other options.
