Hall of Fame Racing
Vorlage:NASCAR Owner Infobox Hall of Fame Racing is a racing team that competes in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series. Originally announced in 2003, the team began competing at the beginning of the 2006 season. Hall of Fame Racing is a joint venture between two former Dallas Cowboys football quarterbacks, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, and is being initially supported by Joe Gibbs Racing. Bill Saunders is the team manager. The team is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with its race shop maintained in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The team announced at Texas Motor Speedway on November 3, 2005, that for the 2006 season, the team would be operating only one car, the #96 sponsored by Texas Instruments' DLP technology. Terry Labonte drove the car for the first five races, placing it inside the top 35 in the point standings, and guaranteeing a starting spot in upcoming races. Labonte also drove the car at the two road courses, with Tony Raines taking control at the others. The team's highest finish in 2006 was third at Infineon Raceway, a road course, with Labonte at the wheel.
In September 2007, Jeff Moorad and Tom Garfinkel of the Arizona Diamondbacks, bought controlling interest in the team.[1]
Also in September of 2007 the team announced the hiring of former driver of the #18 Interstate Batteries Chevy for Joe Gibbs Racing, J. J. Yeley. The contract lasts throughout 2010.
