Roush: No problem for sixth Nextel Cup team

Jack Roush says he had no problems asking NASCAR for a part-time sixth team to run Todd Kluever in seven races in 2006 in preparation for his rookie season in 2007.
When NASCAR announced its four-car cap for every owner last November, NASCAR President Mike Helton indicated an owner could field a fifth part-time car for a rookie.
Roush has five full-time teams, and NASCAR has said it would not force him to break any contracts to get down to four. Roush didn't have to lobby for approval for the extra races for Kluever, since NASCAR had already indicated that a part-time rookie would not count against the cap.
"Our five cars are OK for the time being, and with Todd being a rookie deal, we got the same considerations [others would]," Roush says. "They offered me to start with that I was good if I needed to do that."
