Haas CNC Racing still unsure of sponsorships

Haas CNC Racing has settled on its drivers for its two-car Sprint Cup team in 2008, but its sponsorship situation is unsettled.
Best Buy, which backs the team's No. 66 - driven for the first time this weekend by Jeremy Mayfield - has not decided its future, a spokesman for the company said this week.
And Wednesday, a statement released by Yellow Transportation said that company is evaluating its future in the sport. Yellow entered Nextel Cup this season as sponsor of Johnny Sauter's No. 70.
Sauter will be replaced next season by Scott Riggs.
"Yellow Transportation analyzes the racing program every year," the statement said. "While Team Yellow Racing has been very successful for our company, we are continually looking at the return on investment and other benefits the racing program brings to our company.
"We anticipate continuing to utilize the marketing power of NASCAR, although that can be structured in a variety of ways. At the end of this season, we will evaluate every option and make a decision that is best for Yellow Transportation, our employees and our customers."
Haas CNC Racing General Manager Joe Custer said this week the team is negotiating with both companies to return next season.
Mentioned Drivers: Jeremy Mayfield
