Changes at Haas CNC Racing

Jeremy Mayfield will drive the No. 66 Chevrolet for Haas CNC Racing in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series for the remainder of the season.
Mayfield replaces Jeff Green as driver. Mayfield will make his first start for Haas CNC Racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend and will be with the team in 2008. It has yet to be determined which car he will drive for Haas CNC Racing, which has two, the No. 66 and No. 70.
“I’m very excited about this opportunity with Haas CNC Racing,” Mayfield said. “Every indication is that this is a team with unlimited potential. The shop is state-of-the-art, the equipment is first rate, there is an outstanding relationship with Hendrick Motorsports here, and it’s my challenge to make it all equal success on the track. I’m ready to see how far I can take it.”
Mayfield was driving the No. 36 Toyota for Bill Davis Racing this year, but had trouble qualifying for races. He started 13 races for Bill Davis Racing and was recently released from the team.
“We’re very happy to welcome Jeremy Mayfield to Haas CNC Racing,” team general manager Joe Custer said. “Jeremy has a proven success record and we will be relying on his skill, experience, and leadership to improve our overall team performance. Jeremy’s not far removed from being a Chase contender and I know he’s motivated to get back to that level. We’re confident in our equipment and Jeremy knows how to get it done, so this is a very exciting opportunity for us.”
Haas CNC Racing will also have Scott Riggs as one of its drivers in 2008. Johnny Sauter, who currently drives the No. 70 car for Haas CNC Racing, will not return.
