With number 7 .I was thinking he would get Jack Daniels.Old number 7.Best of luck anyways.

AOL dropped the sponsorship for the 30 car with Richard Childress, so he changed the number to 07 and Jack Daniels is the new sponsor, Dave Blaney will be the driver.

Robby says he will have 4 different primary sponsors for the 36 races this year, 9 races each. Jim Beam and Fruit of the Loom are the first two.

As you all know, Robby and Jimmy go back quite a few years so working with one another makes good business sense. Why work with someone you're not familiar with right?

Oh and not to be a smart*ss or anything, but when you're the owner, you get certain say-so where others don't...know what I mean? Also, if memory serves me, Jimmy has always been a "hands on" type of person too. He just doesn't sit back while others do the work...
