Haas CNC waiting on sponsor decisions
Quote selected text Published October 25th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Haas CNC Racing has settled on its drivers for its two-car Sprint Cup team in 2008, but its sponsorship situation is unsettled. Best Buy, which backs the team’s # 66 - driven for the first time this weekend by Jeremy Mayfield - has not decided its future, a spokesman for the company said this week. And Wednesday, a statement released by Yellow Transportation said that company is evaluating its future in the sport.
Yellow entered Nextel Cup this season as sponsor of Johnny Sauter’s #70. Sauter will be replaced next season by Scott Riggs. Haas CNC Racing General Manager Joe Custer said this week the team is negotiating with both companies to return next season.

Dump 2 fairly popular drivers for a has been that’s been fired twice in 2 years and a guy that can’t live up to his potential. Plus the owner (Haas) is a convicted felon. Gee, I can’t imagine why they’re having trouble attracting sponsors!
