Zaxby's Will Sponsor Yates Racing

Posted by Jeremy Dunn Mar 6, 2008

After posting a noteworthy 8th place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last week, Travis Kvapil has landed a sponsor for the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. Zaxby's Restaurants will sponsor the Yates Racing number 28 Ford this weekend. The Zaxby's headquarters is located in Atlanta, and they are a sponsor on the #09 Roush Fenway Racing truck in the Craftsman Truck Series.

The hood and quarterpanel of the 28 Ford has been empty for the past two weeks as Yates Racing has searched for a primary sponsor. K&N Filters sponsored Kvapil at Daytona, but at California and Las Vegas, the car was plain white.

"I'm really thrilled to have Zaxby's as the sponsor of our #28 Ford Fusion for this weekend at Atlanta," stated Kvapil. "Having the opportunity to drive the Zaxby's Ford, and Atlanta being Zaxby's home base for the company, is a great tie-in. I know that we're going to have a lot of success for them on Sunday. Our Cup team has really been able to show our potential over the past few weeks, and I think that this is a great time for sponsors to jump on board to partner with our Yates Racing teams."

For now, this is a one-race deal, but with the way this team has performed over the last two weeks, the sponsor quest may be over soon.
