NAPA To RCR? Roush Fenway?

[kat2220]

NAPA looking? hearing that NAPA Auto Parts is looking at options for their sponsorship in the Nextel Cup Series. NAPA has been the sponsor for Michael Waltrip in the Cup Series since 2001, first with the #15 DEI Chevy, then since 2006 on the #55 car. Supposedly NAPA is talking to Richard Childress Racing as a possible replacement sponsor for Cingular, should AT&T not win its lawsuit against NASCAR to have the AT&T decals put on the #31 Chevy AND with Roush Fenway Racing as a sponsor for the #16 Ford Greg Biffle drives. Current sponsor Ameriquest has opted out of the sponsorship after the 2007 season.

wish they would go back to the 15...but thats not going to happen.

With that being said...if AT&T looses their law suite...then i would much rather them go to RCR than Roush.


If Waltrip continues to miss races...then i dont see how Napa can stay on his car for much longer.
