MAYFIELD TO RUN NO. 66 FOR REMAINDER OF SEASON
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (October 22, 2007) -- Haas CNC Racing announced
today that Jeremy Mayfield will drive the team's No. 66 NASCAR
Nextel Cup entry for the remainder of the 2007 season, beginning this
weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Mayfield will also drive for Haas CNC Racing during the 2008 Sprint Cup
season although the car he will drive has not been determined.
"I'm very excited about this opportunity with Haas CNC
Racing," Mayfield said. "Every indication is that this is a
team with unlimited potential. The shop is state-of-the-art, the
equipment is first rate, there is an outstanding relationship with
Hendrick Motorsports here, and it's my challenge to make it all
equal success on the track," he said. "I'm ready to see
how far I can take it."
"We're very happy to welcome Jeremy Mayfield to Haas CNC
Racing," team general manager Joe Custer said. "Jeremy has a
proven success record and we will be relying on his skill, experience,
and leadership to improve our overall team performance. Jeremy's
not far removed from being a Chase contender and I know he's
motivated to get back to that level," Custer said.
"We're confident in our equipment and Jeremy knows how to get
it done, so this is a very exciting opportunity for us."
