Michael Waltrip Racing unveiled a new sponsor Saturday at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Waltrip’s #99 Chevrolet and it’s likely to be another step in the expansion of the organization. The State Fair, Bryan and Sara Lee Foods colors were on Waltrip’s team this weekend [at IRP] and will be with the team in three mores NASCAR Busch Series races this season – Sept. 25 at Dover, Oct. 9 at Kansas City, and Nov. 13 at Darlington. State Fair, Bryan and Sara Lee Foods can be expected to return next season to sponsor a limited schedule for a second Waltrip Busch team, sources said Saturday. Waltrip recently started a driver-development program that is going to run newcomers Jarit Johnson, the younger brother Nextel Cup star Jimmie Johnson, and Ken Butler III in some ASA races this season. It is possible the driver of the second Waltrip Busch team next season could come from Waltrip’s driver development program, sources said.(ThatsRacin.com)(8-7-2004)
