Yates Racing has signed with Golden Corral as sponsor for Travis Kvapil in the 2009 Daytona 500. Golden Corral will debut on the No. 28 Ford Fusion during the season-opening practice on Saturday.
Joe Gibbs Racing Gets New Shoes

Mayfield Gets Much Needed Sponsor For New Team
Jeremy Mayfield acquired a new full-season sponsorship with All Sport for 2009. Mayfield has became the car owner/driver of the No. 41 Toyota Camry in recent weeks. The team is co-owned by Gary Smith, CEO of Big Red,Inc.
Bill Davis Merges With Penske, Points Go To 77
Penske South Racing has purchased the No. 22 team from Bill Davis Racing. Penske hasn’t decided what will happen to the number 22, but may keep it to align with the already present numbers 12 and 2.
For now, the 2008 owner points acquired by the 22 car will move to the 77 car. This will guarantee Sam Hornish a starting spot in the Daytona 500, since the 22 was in the top 35 in owner points.
That’s it for the biggest headlines thus far this week. Check back in next Wednesday for more news at Garage Insider.
