More on Sauter to the #88, or will it be Rudd?: The stars appear to
have lined up perfectly for Johnny Sauter to drive Robert Yates
Racing's #88 Ford Fusion in the Nextel Cup Series next season. Sauter
has the inside track to the only car without a driver in the top 35 in
the Nextel Cup owner points, guaranteeing a position in the Daytona
500 and the next four races in 2007. Yates is also talking to Ricky
Rudd, who doesn't want to compete full time. Unless Yates can induce
the 50-year-old Rudd into changing his mind -- and it seems unlikely
-- the #88 belongs to Sauter. They're the only two drivers under
consideration.(CNNSI)(11-25-2006)
