UPS is Tradin’ Paint: New team, new driver, new number . . .
. . .Will it be a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford? Check back this afternoon at 5 p.m. Eastern time to see which choice was correct.
Looks like it will be Newman, Labonte (hadn't heard that one) or Ragan.
Edwards already has full time sponsorship for 09.....Imo it'll be David Ragan

That 3rd rate driver is in the chase which is what sponsors want
It's kinda comical that UPS announces their new driver and team just as their current team is coming off two straight top 10 finishes and is looking much improved. Ragan is a good driver but I don't like Roush's organization. It's hard running 5 teams and make them all competitive. The #6 team used to be his pet team because it's the one he started out with but Roush's new pet team is the #99. I just feel that the #6 team is going the way of the #26 team which is running horribly. Of course, I don't think MWR is going to get much better overall but they do have a great driver. Reutimann is very well respected and is very talented. He's just struggling a bit with subpar equipment but they are getting better every week. The writing was on the wall though with the UPS sponsorship. I mean, have they done any commercials or promotion with David Reutimann?
Thats rightActually he isn't in the Chase, came close though. Came much closer than the 44 did.
