UPS to roll with Roush Fenway Racing, Ford
UPS will join Roush Fenway Racing and return to Ford cars for the 2009 NASCAR season under a new multi-year agreement. The Atlanta-based package shipper said David Ragan will race the No. 6 UPS Ford Fusion next season in a revitalized UPS motorsports program. The agreement also marks a return to Ford Motor Co. Ragan and Roush Fenway Racing will be supported by UPS with a variety of new programs, to be fully announced in coming weeks, including an entirely new advertising campaign. The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season will mark the ninth season of primary sponsorship for UPS and the 10th year as the Official Delivery Company of NASCAR. (From AtlantaBusinessJournal)
