Hearing Taco Bell, KFC and Long John Silvers will be the sponsor for Chance 2 and drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Martin Truex Jr. in 2004. (Jayski)(01-09-04) UPDATE: Hearing Bass Pro Shops will also sponsor the car for up to seven races in 2004. (Jayski)(01-12-04) UPDATE #2: Winning a Nextel Cup title as a driver is priority No. 1. But, thanks to a new sponsorship deal, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will also try to win a Busch Series championship for the first time as a car owner. "We're going for the Busch Series title with Martin," Junior told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "We had just kind of planned on a three-quarter schedule, but, as things changed in the offseason, we were able to justify running the entire season for him." He said the full-season deal came together when Yum! Brands Inc., agreed to put its KFC, Taco Bell and Long John Silver restaurant brands on Truex's car for 14 of the 34 races, joining several returning sponsors from last year. (AP)(01-13-04)
