The Foyt Racing Team owned by David W. Tomasello is looking for a driver in the wake of the recent resignation of Larry Foyt. Tomasellos team plans to operate in 2006 with two drivers, with a new up-and-coming driver in the fold. Both drivers will compete primarily in NASCARs Busch Series but will also enter selected NEXTEL Cup races, Tomasello said. Larry recently got engaged and hes ready to move on to other things, Tomasello said. I congratulate him on his decision about his personal life and we all wish him well. Im optimistic well have a first-rate driver in the fold by the start of the 2006 season, adding that he’s currently interviewing prospects. Besides looking for a driver, we are negotiating for major sponsors for both cars, Tomasello said. He might change the teams name to Zekko Racing, Tomasello added, after his line of extreme sportswear. Already, he has installed his brother Daniel Tomasello as team president. The team will continue to operate from its new shop in Mooresville, NC, Tomasello said. More info at www.foytracing.net.(1-12-2006)
