#88-Dale Jarrett said Friday that his tentative plan is to remain with Robert Yates Racing through the end of the 2008 season and then retire. Things are pretty good that Ill be where Im at through that time, Jarrett said Friday during a rain delay at Bristol Motor Speedway. I dont want to overstay my welcome here trying to extend any longer than that would be taking a chance as far as my competitive spirit and my body holding up. Jarrett said he was unlikely he would follow the lead of Bill Elliott and Terry Labonte and driver part-time after stepping away from his full-time ride.(Speed Channel)
AND Dale Jarrett reaffirmed his plan to race through the 2008 season but revealed there’s a chance he could finish his NASCAR career outside Robert Yates Racing. “Some of the other offers coming my way have kind of a two-year deal, so that’s when I started looking at (2008),” said Jarrett, whose contract is up at the end of the season with Yates, his home since 1995. “I think the high probability is that I’ll be right where I’m at.” The 1999 champion hopes to settle on his future by the end of May.(USA Today)(3-25-2006)
