The Cicci Racing team owned by Fran Cicci is closing up due to lack of sponsorship money.

Derrike Cope has lined himself up a 12 race NASCAR NEXTEL cup racing deal, but needs a sponsor.

For the Subway Fresh Fit 500 race on Saturday Joe Nemechek who rides the #13 car for Ginn Racing is going to have Pinnacle Las Vegas as the sponsor.

NASCAR Now Notes.

Michael Waltrip has finally named a new crew chief for the #55 car and his name is Buddy Sisco.  He has done the crew chief role before for some drivers in the Nextel Series
