Roush helping RYR:

Car owner Jack Roush is offering what help he can to revive Robert Yates Racing. #38-Elliott Sadler drove a chassis last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway that Yates purchased from Roush. Robert Yates Racing, a Ford team like Roush, has struggled this season with most of its woes on tracks 1.5 miles and longer. Sadler ran well in practice but struggled in the race and finished 29th. “I do have great empathy and sympathy for Robert [Yates] and Doug [Yates] and I wish them well,” Roush said Friday at New Hampshire International Speedway. “I don’t want to see them lose those sponsors and to lose their viability. That’s not what I want.”(Roanoke Times)(7-15-2006)
