Sauter has inside track to drive the #88, Rudd a possibility
Quote selected text Published November 25th, 2006 in NASCAR News
The stars appear to have lined up perfectly for Johnny Sauter to drive Robert Yates Racing’s No. 88 Ford Fusion in the Nextel Cup Series next season.
Sauter has the inside track to the only car without a driver in the top 35 in the Nextel Cup owner points, guaranteeing a position in the Daytona 500 and the next four races in 2007.
Yates is also talking to Ricky Rudd, who doesn’t want to compete full time. Unless Yates can induce the 50-year-old Rudd into changing his mind — and it seems unlikely — the No. 88 belongs to Sauter. They’re the only two drivers under consideration.
- Rudd hopes to be back by Kansas
- Ricky Rudd to retire after 2007
- Rudd to move into 2nd place in all-time starts
- Rudd plans Charlotte comeback
- Sauter in the No 70 for Darlington
