SWEET DEAL FOR TOYOTA AND JARRETT Dale Jarrett, one of NASCAR's fading Nextel Cup drivers has reached an agreement to drive for Toyota in a move that should resurrect his career for the next two years. Jarrett, a former series champion, will drive a car owned by Michael Waltrip. "When Michael called me, I thought about it quite a while and I saw this as a new challenge," said Jarrett. "To help build something new like this is pretty exciting." Jarrett's deal means that Toyota will have a former Nextel Cup champion in its ranks as it enters the Cup series in 2007. Jarrett, the 1999 champion who has won 32 races in NASCAR's top series, has said he wants to race for two more seasons after this year. It also means Toyota won't have to race their way into the first race of the season, the Daytona 500, as Jarrett can use his championship provisional to insure Toyota a starting spot. Add a comment |
