Potential New NASCAR Owner

[CarlLong46]

Former team owner looking to get back in the sport: Not much info on this, but hearing that Wayne Burdette and a business partner are looking at coming back into Nextel Cup racing either on their own or partnering with a current team. They are currently working with several sponsors and hope to announce something soon. Burdette partnered with Cale Yarborough in 1998 and part if 1999 with Rick Mast as the driver.(7-18-2006)

Anyone remember Yarborough trying desperately to get rid of that team, and none of the deals went through? That was one character I didn't want to see leave the sport.

I dont remember him trying desperately to get rid of the team. He just ran out of money. The team ran very well I might add with Rick Mast. Even without the million dolalr sponsors. I enjoyed seeing that team along with Billy Standridge, Gary Bradberry, and most of all my cousin Roy running races out of there own pocket and being able to race with those guys competitively.

Might I add I hope he comes back. I would like to see a team like CYM again.
