I know that we’re going to have a lot of success for them on Sunday. Our Cup team has really been able to show our potential over the past few weeks, and I think that this is a great time for sponsors to jump on board to partner with our Yates Racing teams. I’m really looking forward to this weekend and representing Zaxby’s.” “We are ecstatic to have Travis representing our company at Atlanta this weekend,” commented Tony Townley, Vice-President of Zaxby’s Franchising. “We are thrilled to have Travis representing us at Atlanta, since our company is headquartered here. I think our franchisees and customers will be excited to watch the #28 in our first Cup series endeavor. Our customers can identify with our colors and branding from our last couple of years racing in the Truck series, and we’re looking forward to our partnership with Yates Racing for this weekend’s Cup race.” Kvapil has already achieved a top-10 finish this season in the Sprint Cup series when he brought home an eighth-place finish this past weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Yates Racing.
