It's All About the Mirrors...

Hall of Fame Racing has signed J.J. Yeley to drive for the No. 96 team in the Sprint Cup Series beginning in 2008. Yeley's debut in the No. 96 DLP HDTV car will come in February's Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway. His entry into the prestigious event came via his first career pole at Michigan International Speedway this past June. "In 23 years of being involved in professional sports, I have worked with many great athletes," said Jeff Moorad, owner of Hall of Fame Racing. "J.J Yeley's determination to succeed reminds me of many of the championship athletes that I have been around in my career. He is hungry and determined to win races and championships and to do it with class. We look forward to J.J. being an integral part of Hall of Fame Racing and to winning with him going forward." Yeley comes to Hall of Fame Racing from Joe Gibbs Racing, the team for which he drove full-time in the Nextel Cup Series beginning in 2006. Yeley will take over for Tony Raines, current driver of the No. 96 DLP HDTV Chevy, following the conclusion of the 2007 season.

No word on where current driver Tony Raines will end up. It is a shame to hear about this for Tony Raines, he is a good race car driver but it just seems that they want more and they are going after some young blood from the dirt tracks.
