Jarrett To Use No. 44
Richard Petty was persuaded to give the number up and Dale Jarrett was glad to take it off his hands. Driving for Michael waltrip racing in a Toyota next year, Jarrett will sport the number 44 (half of his current 88) says his sponsor UPS. A new team, a new manufacturer and a new car number equate to a fresh new look for UPS Racing in 2007. The upcoming season of competition in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series will be the start of a new chapter in the book of UPS Racing and driver Dale Jarrett. The No. 44 UPS Toyota Camry will debut in the Budweiser Shootout in February. The car will break out with a splash with a new paint scheme designed for the 2007 season and UPS's maiden voyage with MWR.
The management of MWR wished to create symmetry with its three cars, as Jarrett's teammates will compete with double digit numbers as well. Michael Waltrip will drive the No. 55 NAPA Camry and Nextel Cup Series rookie contender David Reutimann will drive the No. 00 car sponsored by Domino's and Burger King.
The similarities between the three MWR cars do not stop with the trio of double-digit numbers. Each car features its own distinctive colors representative of their respective sponsors, but the overall design is shared by the three NASCAR Nextel Cup Toyotas.
Present on the UPS Camry are the everlasting colors of brown, white and gold as well as the now familiar red and orange that have come to be a part of the UPS paint schemes during the course of the last couple NASCAR seasons. The design features lightning bolts that start at the nose of the car, jolt along the passenger and driver sides of the car and continue to the rear quarter panels. The lightning bolts stretch from the inside corner of each headlight sticker and continue beyond the wheel well on both sides of the car. A total of four lightning bolts hug the sides of the UPS Camry - each a different color of gold, red, brown and orange.
The No. 44 is planted at the forefront of the lightning bolts in the same UPS orange color used in the orange lightning bolt. The result is an eye-catching transition of color that creates the illusion of speed. And speed on the track is just what Dale Jarrett hopes to generate in his No. 44 UPS Toyota Camry in 2007.

They'll have to do better than just an illusion.
