CONCORD, N.C. – Yates Racing announced today that Paul Menard will drive the No. 98 with sponsor Menards with crew chief Larry Carter in 2009 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
“I’m really looking forward to starting this new chapter of my life with Yates Racing and behind the wheel of the No. 98 Ford Fusion,” said Menard. “The No. 98 has been to victory lane 25 times, many times with Marvin Panch and Lee Roy Yarbrough. It’s exciting to be starting with Max (Jones) and Doug (Yates), and having Larry Carter on the box making the calls. I’ve seen how solid the Roush/Yates engine program has been over the years and I know we can have a really good season in the No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion.”
Menard finished 26th in the official driver points standings for the 2008 season.
