Kirkendall Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Federal Express, which once was in the running to be the title sponsor of NASCAR's top series before Nextel came on board, has been in talks with both Joe Gibbs Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc. Word in the garage: Fed Ex will end up on a third Cup car for the 2005 season at JGR with J.J. Yeley, a Busch rookie this season, behind the wheel. But Gibbs says it's too early to commit. "Right now, we're in the process of moving through things, and we can't announce anything because the deal isn't done," Gibbs says. "We've been in conversations for a long time but right now it's just a work in progress." DEI continues to search for a full-time sponsor for the No. 1 car but plans on running John Andretti this week with a Snap-on paint scheme for the Coca-Cola 600. . . .

BengalszoneBilly Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Of course Fed Ex is looking to run a Chevy when UPS runs a Ford! If DHL does finally decide to throw in, odds are they'll throw in with Dodge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
