The sponsor search continues for Yates Racing; however, some of the pressure was lifted when Experian Consumer Direct and FreeCreditReport.com announced that they would endorse the 38 Ford Fusion driven by David Gilliland for the Budweiser Shootout as well as the first six races of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
This rumor surfaced about two weeks ago, and has become a done deal right in the nick of time. FreeCreditReport.com was the sponsor for David Gilliland in the Nationwide Series in 2007 when he competed in a partial schedule for Team Rensi.
Yates Racing is still searching for companies to represent the two-car operation. After the sixth race at Martinsville, there is a lot of uncertainty as far as the sponsor on the 38. The 28 car driven by Travis Kvapil is still without a primary sponsor.
Wake up corporate America! Who wouldn't want to sponsor the 28 in its return to NASCAR?
Haas CNC Racing has announced that Junior Johnson's brand of moonshine, Midnight Moon, will be the primary sponsor for Jeremy Mayfield in the Daytona 500. After that, sponsorship is still lacking for Mayfield and the 70 team.
