Roush Racing announced today that it has launched a search for a primary sponsor for the Jeff Burton driven, Roush Racing #99 Ford in Winston Cup competition. CITGO announced earlier today that it was ending its long running NASCAR sponsorship. I am committed to Jack Roush, Roush Racing and my entire No. 99 team, said Burton. Jack and I have had a very successful history together, and we look forward to sharing and extending that history with a new primary sponsor. Were convinced that the best is still in front of us, and were both committed to attaining our goals. “So far 2003 has been a banner year for attracting sponsorship interest in our programs, said Geoff Smith, Roush Racing president. Now that the Jeff Burton, No. 99 program is available for sponsorship, we can complete our program sales mix by offering one of the top primary sponsorships in NASCAR Winston Cup. The sport is at a great point in its history, with the blue sky potential of television being realized, and dynamic sponsorship programs being implemented by many great sponsors throughout the sport.( Roush Racing )(6-16-2003)
