FONTANA, Calif. - Roush Fenway Racing is taking delivery of the much-coveted UPS sponsorship.
UPS has reached a multiyear agreement with Roush to sponsor the team's No. 6 Ford driven by David Ragan beginning with the 2009 season, The Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned.
A formal announcement of the move is expected within the next two weeks, sources said Sunday.
UPS also considered sponsoring a car with Stewart-Hass Racing and briefly considered sponsoring NASCAR's Truck series, NASCAR officials had previously acknowledged.
Ragan, 22, is in his second full season of Cup and Nationwide competition with Roush and entered Sunday's race still in the hunt for a spot in this year's Chase.
UPS currently sponsors Michael Waltrip Racing's No. 44 Toyota driven by David Reutimann. The company sponsored veteran Dale Jarrett for several years prior to this season.
