It’s not UPS as was rumored here, but I hear the #98 team has signed a sponsor for 1999 and will be announcing it very soon — I am hearing three possible sponsors for the team in 1999: Bell Helmets, Galaxy Phone Card or Sonic Drive In Restaurants — From NASCAR Online: Sonic restaurants, will sponsor Rick Mast in the #98 Yarborough/Burdette Motorsports Ford in the Twin 125’s and the Daytona 500. Sonic will also be an associate sponsor of driver Ricky Craven’s SBIII Ford in the Bud Shootout as well as the Twin 125s and Daytona 500. Mast’s team had previously picked up sponsorship from Budweiser for the Bud Shootout. — Yarborough has sold the majority of the #98 team to Wayne Burdette, a deal which allows Burdett to buy the team outright by the end of 1999(Times-Dispatch)
