Jeremy Mayfield will replace Jeff Green in the Haas CNC Racing No. 66 Chevrolet, effective immediately, team general manager Joe Custer said Monday morning.
Mayfield also will join Scott Riggs in the driver lineup for next season but the alignment of the two drivers with car numbers in 2008 has not been determined, Custer said.
Green is 27th in the series points standings.
"[Green] did a good job for us, and we appreciate everything he did," Custer said.
Mayfield had announced earlier this year that he would leave Bill Davis Racing, where he has struggled to qualify for races. His replacement in the No. 36 Bill Davis Racing team for this weekend at Atlanta has not been announced.
As far as the status of current Haas CNC Racing driver Johnny Sauter, Custer said Sauter (who is 31st in points) is under contract with the team and that "we're working through that" for 2008.
Getting Mayfield started now will allow him to work with crew chief Harold Holly before the end of the season.
"It's all about next year, and with four races left, plus the Atlanta [car of tomorrow] test is critical, we can work with people for next year," Custer said.
Riggs, who currently drives for Gillett Evernham Motorsports, also will test with the Haas CNC Racing team next Monday and Tuesday at Atlanta, Custer said.
