Ward to Yates? from LastCowboys.com: ... couple of little birdies
have told
me in the last couple of weeks that Ward Burton is off the market in
terms
of driver availability. And while it is claimed that this
information comes
from people we would all consider `official' type people,
these `official'
type people are being coy in regards to whom or what has taken him
off the
market. One rumor that has gained momentum has Ward taking over the
#88 UPS
Ford owned by Robert Yates Racing when Dale Jarrett bolts for
Toyota. Again,
Jarrett hasn't officially said that he is going to Toyota, but he
hasn't
exactly denied it either. Another little nugget of information
floating
around out there states that if Jarrett bolts, UPS will stay with
Yates, but
they don't want the next `potential' Cup star. They want a proven
competitor, not just some cat with little or no
experience.(LastCowboys.com)(5-11-2006)
