Here is what I hear about the Ernie Irvan/Yates contract: That they have in fact signed the one year deal but Texaco is kicking up a fuss. Kenny Irwin Jr is rumored for either Ernie’s ride or a third team with Yates. Texaco likes his progression (like Gordon’s) through USAC and want him in their future. Jayski note: Plus Irwin’s sponsor on the truck series is Raybestos, who is an associate sponsor on the #28(6-30-97)(unknown)
