CitiFinancial, a leading community-based lender in North America, will return as the primary sponsor of the #90 CitiFinancial Ford in collaboration with Robert Yates Racing for a full season in the 2006 NASCAR Busch Series. CitiFinancial first appeared on the NASCAR Busch scene in 2005, running a limited schedule with NASCAR veterans Elliott Sadler and Dale Jarrett. This season, Sadler will return to pilot the #90 Ford in an estimated 16 races, while newcomers Stephen Leicht and Matt McCall will also share seat time.(CitiFinancial PR)(1-24-2006)
UPDATE: RYR team manager Eddie DHondt said that either Leicht or McCall likely would drive the car fulltime in the Busch Series in 2007, and then move with the team to Nextel Cup. During the winter, CitiFinancial signed a three-year contract extension with the team and will remain as the primary sponsor, DHondt said. (FordRacing.com)(1-26-2006)
