Office Depot negotiating with Roush; if not UPS could replace

Office Depot is in the midst of an exclusive 60-day negotiating period to extend its sponsorship of Carl Edwards’ #99 Ford, but industry sources say that UPS is waiting in the wings to make a run at the hot Roush Fenway Racing driver.(SportsBusinessJournal.com-sub)(4-21-2008)

Here's hoping the loser in this deal takes a favorable look at Yates.

I don't think UPS would want to sponsor any Yates cars. UPS wants to sponsor somebody either who's great now or has great reputation in NASCAR in the past. That's why they wanna leave Reutimann and Waltrip Racing.

If Roush really is helping Yates find sponsors, they might go with Doug because they can point to the fact that Yates Racing is increasingly a RR sister team, with lots of potential going forward. If not, hey I was betting that Office Depot would lose anyway

Since Roush have to "kill" one of its teams by the end of the season, I hope that sponsor (and car) can go to Yates. I'm expecting #6 car will be "killed" since AAA is leaving the team at the end of the season and then Ragan will be moved to #26 team.
